are�able�to�contribute�their�specific�strengths�to�the�vehicle�in�the�best�possible�way.�As�a�result�of
the�strict�lightweight�construction�philosophy,�the�weight�of�the�body�has�been�reduced�by�around

Taking�into�account�the�repair�stages�of�the�BMW�workshop�information�system,�the�body�repair�work
in�the�Technical�Training�is�divided�into�3�repair�levels.�Each�of�the�3�Body�Repair�Levels�includes
certain�prerequisites�in�terms�of�the�qualifications�of�the�employees�and�the�workshop�equipment.

The�special�characteristics�of�the�add-on�body�parts�and�the�materials�used�in�the�outer�body�skin�are
described�in�this�chapter.�However,�the�basic�functions�of�the�roof�and�the�outer�body�skin�components
made�of�plastic�are�the�same�as�on�other�current�BMW�models.�For�this�reason,�these�components�will
not�be�described�in�detail�here.

As�with�the�predecessor�F15�the�bonnet�is�made�of�aluminum.�The�front�side�panels�and�all�4�doors
are�also�made�of�aluminum.�This�increase�in�aluminum�components�leads�to�a�significant�reduction�in
weight.�The�roof�and�the�entire�outer�side�frame�are�made�of�deep-drawing�steel.

The�front�and�rear�bumper�panels�as�well�as�the�wheel�arch�and�side�sill�trim�panels�are�made�of�plastic
(PP + EPDM)�as�before.�However,�further�development�of�this�material�made�it�possible�to�reduce�the
density�and�thus�the�weight.

4.3.�Upper�section�of�tailgate
The�tailgate�of�the�G05�is�made�of�two�parts,�similar�to�the�F15.�The�basic�equipment�already�features
electric�spindle�drives�on�the�left�and�right�for�the�tailgate�upper�section.�The�tailgate�lock�and�the�drive
for�Automatic�Soft�Close�are�fitted�in�the�tailgate�lower�section.

In�combination�with�the�optional�equipment�Comfort�Access�on�the�X5�xDrive�40i�(SA�322)�the�tailgate
lower�section�now�also�opens�and�closes�automatically�on�the�G05.�A�spindle�drive�integrated�in�the
tailgate�moves�the�tailgate�lower�section�via�a�kinematic�deflection�mechanism�on�the�bonnet�hinge.
Here�the�axial�movement�of�the�spindle�drive�is�converted�by�the�kinematic�mechanism�into�a�rotational
movement�of�the�tailgate,�enabling�the�tailgate�to�open�and�close�by�fully�automatic�means.�Opening
and�closing�of�the�tailgate�sections�can�be�performed�as�follows:

• *Both�tailgate�sections�can�be�opened�or�closed�with�the�button�in�the�driver's�door.
• The�tailgate�upper�section�can�be�opened�or�closed�with�the�button�on�the�ID�transmitter.
• The�tailgate�upper�section�can�be�opened�with�the�outside�button�on�the�tailgate.
• Both�tailgate�sections�can�be�contactlessly�opened�or�closed�with�the�corresponding�foot
movement.
• Both�tailgate�sections�close�automatically�when�the�button�on�the�tailgate�upper�section�is
pressed.
• When�the�button�on�the�tailgate�lower�section�is�pressed,�only�the�tailgate�lower�section�opens
or�closes�automatically�(optional�equipment).

*The�driver�can�also�make�an�adjustment�in�the�CID�under�Setting�Tailgates�so�that�only�the�tailgate
upper�section�opens�or�closes�with�the�button�in�the�driver's�door�trim�panel.

If�the�check�symbol�for�trailer�operation�is�set�in�the�CID,�both�tailgate�sections�can�only�be�opened�or
closed�manually�with�the�button�on�the�tailgate�sections.

• Adapted�axle�ratio�for�the�G05.
• Changeover�to�a�low�viscosity�oil.
• Optimization�of�transmission�oil�flow�for�lower�transmission�oil�temperatures
and�reduction�of�heat�entering�the�front�axle�transmission.
• Reduction�in�weight�and�splash�losses�due�to�welding�of�ring�gear.

6.1.1.�Variants

Two�different�rear�axle�differentials�with�the�following�designation�are�used:

• HAG�205AL
• HAG�215LW

Adaptations

• Adapted�axle�ratio�for�the�G05.

The�regulated�rear�axle�differential�lock�is�an�electromechanical�rear�axle�differential�lock�which�is
based�on�the�current�M�differential�of�M�GmbH.�The�regulated�rear�axle�differential�lock�allows�the
slip�between�the�right�and�left�rear�wheel�to�be�reduced�by�establishing�a�friction-locked�connection
between�both�wheels�via�a�multidisc�clutch.�If�required,�the�multidisc�clutch�package�is�closed�via�an
e-motor�and�is�applied�between�the�rear�wheel�and�differential�housing.�A�lock-up�torque�of�up�to
1500 Nm�can�be�generated�irrespective�of�the�requested�drive�torque.

set�at�the�toothed�mobile�adjusting�disc�of�the�ball�ramp�based�on�the�requested�drive�torque.

The�adjusting�torque�required�for�control�is�generated�by�the�electric�motor.�The�rotational�movement
of�the�electric�motor�is�converted�to�an�axial�movement�by�a�ball�ramp�mechanism�and�the�clutch
package�of�the�multidisc�clutch�is�closed�or�opened.

The�contact�pressure�of�the�multidisc�clutch�is�increased�or�reduced�depending�on�the�requested
torque�distribution.�As�a�result,�the�stepped-up�engine�torque�is�steplessly�distributed�between�the
two�rear�wheels�corresponding�to�the�driving�situation.

9.4.4.�Adaptive�M�suspension�Professional�(SA 2VW)
From�a�functional�standpoint,�this�chassis�and�suspension�package�has�a�particularly�strong�influence
on�the�cornering�behavior�of�the�vehicle.�This�is�achieved�by�using�the�electric�active�roll�stabilization
front�(EARSV)�and�the�electric�active�roll�stabilization�rear�(EARSH).�Both�active�stabilizers�are
adjusted�by�the�vertical�dynamic�platform�(VDP).�The�increase�in�driving�dynamics�is�largely�due�to
a�significant�reduction�in�the�roll�angle�of�the�body�during�cornering�and�a�neutral�drivability�with�low
understeering�tendency.�What�is�notable�about�this�suspension�control�system�is�that�the�increase�in

11.3.�Structure�and�function
The�main�purpose�of�the�air�suspension�is�to�increase�driving�comfort.�The�system�performs
adjustment�mainly�at�standstill,�e.g.�in�order�to�compensate�for�a�change�in�height�due�to�the�vehicle
load.�The�inertia�of�the�system�means�that�it�cannot�react�to�driving�dynamics�disturbance�variables,

11.3.1.�Control�when�driving
Adjustment�is�however�possible�when�driving�with�low�transverse�and�longitudinal�dynamics.

An�adjustment�may�be�triggered�when�driving�for�one�of�the�following�reasons:

• Speed-dependent�driving�level�control
• Driving�level�control�due�to�reduction�in�fuel�level�(change�in�load�status)
• Driving�level�control�due�to�changes�in�the�temperature�of�the�air�in�the�air�suspension�struts
• Manual�adjustment�of�the�driving�level�due�to�customer�request�(e.g.�Driving�Experience

11.�Two-axle�Ride�Level�Control
The�air�suspension�in�the�G05�is�controlled�by�a�3-channel�control�system.�With�this�system,�the�two
air�suspension�struts�of�the�front�axle�are�jointly�controlled�and�the�air�suspension�struts�of�the�rear
axle�are�controlled�separately.�The�aim�of�this�approach�is�to�be�able�to�compensate�for�any�tilting�of
the�vehicle�rear�axle�that�occurs�due�to�uneven�load�conditions.�As�the�load�status�at�the�front�axle
on�the�right�and�left�is�the�same�under�all�operating�conditions,�control�is�effected�in�this�case�via�a
common�channel.�To�do�so,�the�EHC�control�unit�generates�a�mean�value�from�the�two�actual�values
of�the�ride�height�sensors�on�the�front�axle�and�adjusts�the�driving�level�until�the�target�level�and�actual
level�correspond.�The�advantage�of�this�type�of�control�is�that�the�corresponding�driving�level�can�be
approached�without�continuous�readjustment.

To�avoid�dazzling�of�oncoming�traffic,�the�front�axle�is�lowered�first�followed�by�the�rear�axle.�The�axles
are�raised�in�the�reverse�order�(rear�axle�followed�by�front�axle).

To�prevent�water�being�drawn�in,�the�air�intake�hose�has�been�installed�as�high�up�as�possible.�This
has�the�benefit�of�providing�a�good�fording�depth.�An�air�drier�dehumidifies�the�air�drawn�in�to�prevent
corrosion�and�icing�inside�the�pneumatic�system.

11.3.2.�Air�supply�unit
The�air�supply�unit�consists�of�the�electronic�ride�height�control�(EHC)�control�unit,�electrical

To�prevent�vibrations�being�transferred�to�the�body�when�the�compressor�is�running,�the�holder�of�the
air�supply�unit�is�fastened�to�the�vehicle�by�rubber�elements.

The�air�supply�unit�has�2�separate�ports�for�the�air�intake�and�discharge�hoses.�These�are�however

The�intake�air�is�cleaned�by�the�air�filter�upstream�of�the�compressor�and�dried�by�the�air�drier
downstream�of�the�compressor.�Cleaning�is�necessary�so�that�the�valves�are�protected�against
soiling.�Water�is�extracted�from�the�air�to�prevent�the�valves�from�icing�up�at�low�outside�temperatures.
If�the�valves�were�to�freeze�due�to�excessively�high�air�humidity�in�the�air�supply�system,�the�air
suspension�would�no�longer�be�able�to�perform�the�self-levelling�operation.�To�avoid�this,�the�air�drier�is
permanently�cleaned�or�dewatered.

The�granulate�in�the�air�drier�absorbs�air�humidity�at�high�pressure�and�releases�it�at�low�pressure.�If
the�compressed�air�flows�through�the�granulate�when�filling�the�system,�moisture�is�removed�from�it.
To�regenerate�the�air�drier,�air�is�routed�via�a�throttle�from�the�pressure�accumulator�to�the�air�drier.�The
air�flowing�through�the�air�drier�at�low�pressure�removes�moisture�from�the�granulate�and�releases�it
into�the�atmosphere.

This�permanent�regeneration�of�the�air�drier�ensures�fault-free�operation�of�the�system�without�the
need�for�maintenance�work.

The�water�crossing�detection�is�primarily�required�by�the�engine�control�unit�DME.�If�a�water�crossing
is�detected,�the�engine�control�unit�DME�closes�the�air�flaps.�This�reduces�the�danger�of�water�ingress
in�the�intake�area.�As�fluids�cannot�be�compressed,�intake�of�water�would�lead�to�engine�damage.

Activating�the�workshop�mode

The�control�of�the�air�suspension�can�be�deactivated�manually�in�workshop�mode.�This�can�be
activated�by�pressing�the�ride�level�rocker�button�for�longer�than�7�s.�When�doing�so,�whether�the�ride
level�rocker�button�is�pushed�forwards�or�backwards�is�irrelevant.�The�LED�on�the�ride�level�rocker
button�goes�out�to�confirm�workshop�mode.

The�workshop�mode�is�required�for�example�when�performing�a�wheel�alignment�in�order�to�prevent
adjustments�by�the�air�suspension.�BMW�Group�vehicles�equipped�with�a�rear�axle�air�suspension
do�not�feature�a�ride�height�selection�switch.�To�prevent�control�actions�in�these�vehicle�models,�the
vehicle�battery�must�be�disconnected�for�example.

Exiting�workshop�mode

To�activate�the�control�of�the�air�suspension,�the�workshop�mode�must�be�deactivated.
This�can�be�done�as�follows:

• Driving�speed�higher�than�6 km/h�(4�mph)
• Hold�ride�height�rocker�button�pressed�for�longer�than�7�s.

11.5.5.�Swapping�of�air�lines
If�the�compressed�air�lines�are�swapped�round,�the�vehicle�will�tilt�permanently�as�a�result.�It�will�no
longer�be�possible�to�adjust�the�system�when�the�lines�are�swapped.�To�prevent�confusion�during

Function Explanation
Antilock�Brake Prevents�locking�of�individual�wheels�when�braking�by�means�of�targeted
System�(ABS) modulation�of�brake�pressures.�Vehicle�steerability�is�maintained.
Cornering�Brake Prevents�the�vehicle�from�turning�in�when�braking�gently�and�when
Control�(CBC) subjected�to�a�high�degree�of�lateral�acceleration�by�adjusting�the�control�of
the�brake�pressures.�The�cornering�stability�is�improved.
Automatic�Stability Prevents�the�drive�wheels�from�spinning�by�targeted�braking�of�these
Control�(ASC) wheels�and�adaptation�of�the�drive�torque�delivered�by�the�engine.�Vehicle
propulsion�is�optimized�as�a�result�and�driving�stability�is�maintained.
Dynamic�Brake In�the�event�of�panic�braking�initiated�by�the�driver,�the�system�supports�the
Control�(DBC) driver�by�automatically�immediately�applying�the�maximum�brake�pressure
to�ensure�the�best�possible�deceleration.
Dynamic�Stability If�the�vehicle�starts�to�understeer�or�oversteer,�it�is�stabilized�by�targeted
Control�(DSC) brake�interventions�at�individual�wheels.

Automatic Simulates�the�function�of�the�differential�lock.�If�a�wheel�displays�a
Differential�Brake tendency�to�spin,�this�wheel�is�automatically�braked�so�that�forward
(ADB-X) momentum�can�still�be�achieved�via�the�other�wheel�of�the�driven�axle.
Dynamic�Traction Represents�a�special�mode�of�the�Dynamic�Stability�Control�integrated

Brake�standby Builds�up�a�moderate�brake�pressure�in�the�system�when�the�driver�takes
his�foot�off�the�accelerator�pedal�quickly.�The�braking�effect�then�acts�more
quickly�if�the�driver�then�performs�panic�braking.
Dry�by�applying Depending�on�whether�the�wiper�is�switched�on,�applies�the�brake�pads
brake gently�at�intervals�in�order�to�clean�(dry)�the�brake�discs.�The�braking�effect
is�significantly�improved�by�this�when�the�vehicle�is�braked.
Drive-off�assistant Holds�the�vehicle�on�inclines�for�roughly�1.5�seconds�as�soon�as�the�driver
releases�the�brake�pedal�in�order�to�drive�off.�This�means�that�the�driver
can�drive�off�comfortably,�without�the�vehicle�rolling�back�down�the�hill
unintentionally.
Automatic�Hold Automatically�holds�the�vehicle�after�it�has�come�to�a�standstill�without�it
being�necessary�to�still�press�the�brake�when�the�drive�position�is�selected.
The�brake�is�automatically�released�when�the�accelerator�pedal�is�pressed
and�the�vehicle�drives�off�normally.�The�function�can�be�switched�on�and�off
by�means�of�a�button.

The�standard�"Open�Alliance�BroadR-Reach"�(OABR�Ethernet)�has�been�specially�developed�as�a�new
data�transmission�layer�for�use�in�vehicles.�OABR�Ethernet�only�requires�an�unshielded�twisted�two-
wire�connection.�OABR�Ethernet�supports�bidirectional�100 MBit/s�communication�between�2�nodes.
This�means�that�both�nodes�can�simultaneously�send�and�receive�at�a�data�transfer�rate�of�100 MBit/
s.�OABR�Ethernet�requires�point-to-point�networking.�This�means�that�the�bus�system�is�not�split�up
between�multiple�nodes,�as�is�the�case�e.g.�with�the�CAN�(Controller�Area�Network).�Instead,�Ethernet
switches�are�used�for�the�connection�of�further�nodes.�Today,�Ethernet�switches�are�integrated�in�the
following�control�units:�Body�Domain�Controller�(BDC),�head�unit�(HU),�optional�equipment�system
(SAS),�top�rear�side�view�camera�(TRSVC).

A�wake-up�line�may�be�required�for�control�units�that�are�only�connected�to�the�Ethernet�and�are�not
additionally�connected�to�a�K-CAN.

Control�units�on�the�Ethernet�cannot�be�woken�up�via�the�bus.�Instead,�the�control�units�are�activated
via�the�wake-up�line�or�switched�directly�via�terminal�15.

terminals�are�used�in�the�G05:

• Terminal�15N
• Terminal�30B
• Terminal�30F
• Terminal�30.

vehicle�condition�is�displayed�in�the�BMW�diagnosis�system�ISTA.

Activation�of�the�PAD�mode:

• Operation�of�the�start/stop�button�(three�times�within�0.8 s)�+�valid�remote�control�or�valid�ID

5.4.�Partial�network�operation
Today's�premium�vehicles�contain�up�to�70�control�units�with�well�over�100 micro�controllers�which�are
networked�with�each�other.�However,�depending�on�the�current�vehicle�condition�or�the�vehicle�user
requirement,�not�all�comfort�and�assistance�systems�may�always�be�needed.

It�is�possible�to�save�energy,�relieve�the�load�on�the�battery�and�also�prolong�the�battery�life�by�targeted
deactivation�and�activation�on�control�units�which�are�not�needed,�so-called�selective�partial�network
operation.

If�functions�are�not�used�or�needed�when�driving,�e.g.:

• Seat�adjustment
• Trailer�lighting�(no�trailer�attached)

The�corresponding�control�units�can�be�switched�off.

In�vehicles�with�combustion�engine,�the�electrical�energy�consumption�is�indirectly�linked�to�the�fuel
consumption�via�the�alternator.�As�a�result,�selective�deactivation�of�control�units�that�are�not�currently
needed�can�contribute�to�reducing�fuel�consumption�and�thus�also�CO2�emissions.

5.4.1.�Prerequisites�for�partial�network�operation
The�partial�network�primary�in�the�Body�Domain�Controller�calculates�a�partial�network�status�on
the�basis�of�the�current�vehicle�condition�and�the�required�functions.�The�control�units�that�are�not
required�are�switched�off�by�means�of�the�corresponding�bus�messages.

5.4.2.�Prerequisites�of�control�units�for�partial�network�operation
Different�transceivers�are�used�in�order�to�realize�partial�network�operation�in�control�units.�These
transceivers�are�able�to�evaluate�and�interpret�messages.�This�control�unit�remains�switched�off�as
long�as�any�bus�communication�takes�place�without�a�valid�wake-up�event�for�the�corresponding
control�unit�being�present.�If�a�valid�wake-up�event�for�the�corresponding�control�unit�is�sent�on�the
bus,�the�transceiver�can�activate�the�voltage�regulator�of�the�micro�controller�and�the�control�unit�starts
up.�The�control�unit�is�switched�off�by�deactivation�of�the�voltage�regulator.

functions�relevant�for�the�central�locking�system�are�controlled�by�the�Body�Domain�Controller.�The
function�is�as�follows:

• The�radio�signal�from�the�ID�transmitter�is�received�by�the�remote�control�receiver.
• The�signal�causes�the�BDC�to�activate�the�central�locking�system�and�the�interior�lighting.
• The�BDC�evaluates�the�status�of�all�the�door�contacts,�the�tailgate�and�the�hotel�position
switch.
• The�status�of�the�central�locking�system�button�is�also�evaluated�by�the�BDC.�The�BDC
activates�the�central�locking�system,�depending�on�the�status.
• The�BDC�is�responsible�for�activation�of�the�central�locking�system�and�the�drive�for�soft-close

18.2.1.�System�monitoring�functions

Deactivation�of�airbags

Provision�is�made�in�US�versions�of�the�vehicles�for�the�airbag�to�be�deactivated�automatically�in�order
to�satisfy�the�regulations�of�the�National�Highway�Traffic�Safety�Administration�NHTSA.�When�the�child
seats�listed�in�the�regulation�are�occupied�by�a�child�this�must�lead�to�deactivation�of�the�airbag.

To�do�so,�a�seat�occupancy�mat�is�used�on�the�front�passenger�seat�for�the�purpose�of�occupancy
detection�and�classification�of�occupants�in�the�front�passenger�seat.�A�Capacitive�Interior�Sensing
mat�(CIS�mat)�is�used�in�the�G05.

The�CIS�mat�is�made�up�of�two�elements:�A�sensor�wire,�which�runs�parallel�to�the�seat�heating�in
the�seat�cushion,�and�an�evaluation�unit.�The�CIS�mat�measures�the�capacity�and�ohmic�resistance
between�the�sensor�wire�(anode)�and�the�vehicle�ground�(cathode)�at�a�frequency�of�120�kHz.�The
CIS�mat�determines�from�the�change�in�capacity�and�resistance�whether�the�front�passenger�seat�is
occupied�by�an�adult�or�a�child�in�a�child�seat.

The�deactivation�of�the�front�passenger�airbag,�the�side�airbag�and�knee�airbag�on�the�passenger's
side�is�signalled�by�the�indicator�lamp�for�front�passenger�airbag�deactivation.

side-on�crash.

The�airbag�sensors�in�the�doors�are�used�to�verify�the�plausibility�of�the�acceleration�signals�from
the�B-pillar�airbag�sensors�and�the�Advanced�Crash�Safety�Module�(ACSM)�when�a�side-on�crash�is
detected.�The�airbag�sensors�are�situated�in�the�inner�panel�of�the�doors�and�measure�the�pressure
increase�in�the�event�of�a�side-on�collision.�In�the�event�of�a�side-on�collision�at�the�door�the�outer�skin
is�pushed�inwards.�The�door�interior�is�reduced�in�size�and�the�inner�pressure�increases.�This�pressure
change�is�measured�by�the�airbag�sensors.�The�airbag�sensor�also�includes�electronics,�in�addition
to�the�pressure�sensor,�that�digitize�the�pressure�readings�and�transmit�them�cyclically�to�the�Crash
Safety�Module�(ACSM).�The�data�transfer�is�effected�analog�to�the�airbag�sensors�in�the�B-pillars.�The
pressure�readings�are�evaluated�in�the�Advanced�Crash�Safety�Module�(ACSM).

3.�Daytime�Pedestrian�Protection
The�Daytime�Pedestrian�Protection�function�in�the�G05�is�a�component�part�of�Active Driving�Assistant
(SA 5AS)�and�is�effected�with�the�aid�of�the�KAFAS�Mid�camera.

For�the�first�time,�as�part�of�the�Daytime�Pedestrian�Protection�function,�the�driver�also�receives�a
warning�of�cyclists.�Just�as�with�the�pedestrian�warning,�only�an�acute�warning�is�issued�in�a�speed
range�of�approximately�5-65 km/h�with�the�cyclist�warning.�If�the�acute�warning�is�issued,�an�automatic
brake�intervention�through�to�maximum�deceleration�is�initiated.

When�an�acute�warning�is�issued,�the�same�symbol�is�used�for�both�the�pedestrian�warning�and�for�the
cyclist�warning�in�the�instrument�cluster�(KOMBI)�and,�if�applicable,�in�the�Head-Up�Display�(HUD).

Symbols�(HUD�&�KOMBI) Explanation
Acute�warning:

• Person�symbol�flashes�and�a�signal
sounds
• Request�for�intervention�by�braking
and,�if�necessary,�evasive�action�(if
necessary�assisted�by�the�Evasion
Assistant).

There�are�no�configuration�possibilities�in�the�Intelligent�Safety�menu�for�the�pedestrian�and�cyclist
warning.�The�only�possibility�is�deactivation�by�pressing�the�Intelligent�Safety�button�for�a�long�period.
The�pedestrian�and�cyclist�warning�is�automatically�switched�back�on�after�each�terminal�change.

As�a�result�of�the�new�Evasion�Assistant�functions,�the�Evasion�Assistant�is�also�available�to�the�driver
in�the�event�of�a�pedestrian�and�cyclist�warning.

G05�Driver�Assistance�Systems
4.�Intersection�Collision�Warning
The�Intersection�collision�warning�is�also�used�in�the�G05.�Since�an�extremely�exact�environment
analysis�must�be�performed�in�front�of�the�vehicle�for�this�function,�the�data�from�the�KAFAS�High
camera,�the�front�radar�sensor�long�range�(FRSF)�and�the�side�radar�sensors�short�range�front
(SRSNVL�and�SRSNVR)�are�evaluated.�Thus,�the�Intersection�collision�warning�with�city�braking
function�is�only�available�with�the�optional�equipment�Active�Driving�Assistant�Professional�(SA 5AU).

In�the�previous�function�characteristics,�an�acute�warning�is�issued�and�a�preconditioning�of�the�brake
system�is�performed.�The�responsibility�for�preventing�an�imminent�collision�is�still�the�driver's�alone.

With�the�introduction�of�the�G05,�the�Intersection�collision�warning�with�city�braking�function�now
provides�assistance�in�the�speed�range�of�approximately 10-80 km/h�as�and,�when�required,�with�a
supporting�brake�intervention.�The�intensity�of�the�brake�intervention�is�controlled�depending�on�the
situation.

In�addition,�the�acute�warning�has�been�supplemented�by�an�advance�warning.�The�warning�time�of�the
Intersection�collision�warning�with�city�braking�function�can�only�be�set�as�part�of�the�Front�collision
warning�in�the�iDrive�menu.

G05�adjusting�the�warning�time

The�Intersection�collision�warning�with�city�braking�function�does�not�relieve�the�driver�of�personal
responsibility�for�correctly�judging�the�visibility�and�traffic�situation.�The�driver's�driving�style�should�be
adapted�to�the�traffic�conditions.�The�driver�should�check�the�traffic�conditions,�and�react�accordingly�if
required.

5.�Lane�Departure�Warning
5.1.�Active�steering�intervention
Active�steering�intervention�is�an�innovation�to�the�Lane�Departure�Warning�in�the�G05�with�standard
equipment�Active�Driving�Assistant�(SA 5AS).�This�was�previously�only�possible�with�the�optional
equipment�Active�Driving�Assistant�Plus�(SA 5AT).

6.�Automatic�Lane�Change
The�G05�introduces�the�Automatic�Lane�Change�function�to�the�US�market.�Automatic�Lane�Change
supports�the�driver�when�changing�lanes,�for�example�when�passing�on�highways.�The�system�offers
the�driver�further�convenience�with�this�and�can�contribute�to�avoiding�possible�collisions�with�another
vehicle�travelling�in�the�same�direction.

If�the�driver�has�activated�the�system�and�the�destination�lane�is�free,�the�vehicle�automatically�carries
out�a�steering�wheel�movement�and�returns�to�lane�guidance�(Steering�Assistant)�after�the�lane�change
is�completed.

The�system�assists�the�driver�in�the�speed�range�from�approximately�70�km/h�to�approximately
180�km/h.

6.1.�Functional�principle
Automatic�Lane�Change�is�activated�if�the�driver�operates�the�turn�indicator�(“one-touch�signalling”
and�holds�it�for�approximately�1�second)�with�Steering�Assistant�activated.�This�signals�to�the
system�that�the�driver�would�like�to�change�to�the�adjacent�lane�with�system�support.

First�the�system�analyzes�whether�a�danger-free�lane�change�is�possible,�and�also�whether�sufficient
room�for�the�maneuver�is�available.�The�surroundings�are�monitored�by�the�side�radar�sensors�and�the
data�from�the�KAFAS�camera.�The�KAFAS�camera�is�principally�used�for�lane�detection.

The�radar�sensors�are�not�only�responsible�for�the�detection�of�an�object,�but�are�also�able�to�take�into
consideration�the�speed�of�vehicles�detected�nearby.

6.1.1.�Monitoring�ranges
The�monitoring�ranges�for�the�radar�sensors�are�as�follows:

6.�Automatic�Lane�Change
The�vehicle�performs�the�lane�change�automatically�if�the�sensor�system�does�not�detect�any
vehicles�in�the�relevant�safety�zone�and�if�there�is�sufficient�room�for�maneuvering�available.�It�is�of�no
importance�whether�the�vehicle�lane�change�is�for�passing�purposes�or�whether�the�driver�is�simply
wishing�to�change�lanes.

The�direction�of�the�lane�change�is�determined�by�the�turn�indicator�which�has�been�previously�set.

G05�Automatic�Lane�Change

The�driver�merely�has�to�monitor�the�lane�change.�This�does�not,�however,�mean�that�he�is�released
from�his�duties�as�a�driver.�For�instance,�the�driver�is�also�obliged�to�check�whether�a�lane�change�is
permissible�at�all,�and�has�to�take�account�of�passing�restrictions,�solid�lines,�etc.�Automatic�Lane
Change�does�not�take�these�circumstances�into�consideration.

Once�the�change�to�the�adjacent�lane�is�complete,�the�vehicle�returns�to�lane�guidance�(Steering
Assistant).

The�lane�change�maneuver�will�be�aborted�if,�once�it�has�started,�the�turn�indicator�lever�is�released�too
soon�(less�than�approximately�1�second),�a�Blind�Spot�Collision�Warning�warning�is�issued�or�an�object
is�detected�to�the�side�of�the�vehicle.�If�the�lane�change�maneuver�is�automatically�cancelled�before�the
vehicle�has�crossed�the�lane�marker,�the�vehicle�is�guided�back�into�the�original�lane.

The�driver�has�full�responsibility�for�the�lane�change�maneuver,�including�checking�that�the�destination
lane�is�free.

The�maximum�steering�torque�has�been�set�in�such�a�way�that�it�can�always�be�overruled�by�the�driver
and�therefore�steering�past�the�maximum�steering�torque�is�possible.�This�means�that�the�driver�has
the�capability�at�all�times�to�abort�the�automatic�lane�change.

Automatic�Lane�Change�cannot�replace�the�driver’s�personal�judgement�of�the�traffic�situation.
Therefore,�check�the�traffic�situation�around�the�vehicle�by�looking�around,�otherwise�there�may�be
a�risk�of�an�accident�as�a�result�of�road�users�or�objects�which�lie�outside�the�detection�range�of�the
sensors.�Approaching�vehicles�can�be�detected�too�late�or�not�at�all�because�of�the�limits�inherent�in

6.�Automatic�Lane�Change
6.3.�Functional�prerequisites
The�following�basic�prerequisites�must�be�met�to�use�Automatic�Lane�Change:

• Steering�Assistant�is�active.
• The�vehicle�is�traveling�on�a�divided�highway.
• The�turn�indicator�lever�is�held�in�the�“one-touch�signalling�position”�for�approximately
1�second.
• The�driving�lane�line�to�be�crossed�has�been�detected.
• “Hands-on”�(hands�on�the�steering�wheel)�must�be�detected�at�the�start�of�the�maneuver.
• Blind�Spot�Collision�Warning�is�active�and�not�issuing�a�warning.
• No�vehicles�have�been�detected�in�the�maneuvering�space�to�the�side�of�the�vehicle.
• No�stationary�objects�(such�as�roadside�structures,�posts,�etc.)�have�been�detected�in�the
maneuvering�space�to�the�side�of�the�vehicle.
• The�vehicle�is�travelling�at�a�speed�between�approximately�70�km/h�and�approximately
180�km/h.

6.4.�Deactivation�criteria
Automatic�Lane�Change�is�automatically�deactivated�in�the�following�situations:

• Automatic�Lane�Change�is�no�longer�executed�if�the�trigger�conditions�are�not�met�within
approximately�10�seconds�from�the�start�of�the�turn�indication.
• Automatic�Lane�Change�will�be�aborted�if,�once�a�lane�change�maneuver�has�started,�the�turn
indicator�lever�is�released�too�soon�(less�than�approximately�1�second),�a�Blind�Spot�Collision
Warning�is�issued�or�an�object�is�detected�to�the�side�of�the�vehicle.
• Automatic�Lane�Change�is�also�aborted�if�the�driver�steers�opposite�to�the�steering�torque
applied�by�the�system.
• If�the�lane�marker�on�the�other�side�of�the�destination�lane�is�not�detected�in�sufficient�time
after�passing�over�the�lane�marking�to�be�crossed.

7.�Cruise�Control
7.1.�Active�Cruise�Control�with�Stop&Go�function
The�new�front�radar�sensor�(FRS)�is�used�with�the�optional�equipment�Active�Cruise�Control�with
Stop&Go�function�(SA 5DF).�The�adjustment�range�for�the�set�speed�is�limited�to�a�maximum�of
160 km/h�since�the�FRS�has�a�shorter�range�than�the�FRSF.

On�vehicles�with�the�optional�equipment�Active�Driving�Assistant�Professional�(SA 5AU)�the�set�speed
is�limited,�as�always,�to�a�maximum�of�180 km/h.

7.2.�Speed�Limiter
The�G05�introduces�the�Speed�Limiter�to�the�US�market.�This�function�has�been�available�in�European
markets�for�many�years.

With�the�Speed�Limiter,�the�maximum�speed�of�the�vehicle�can�be�limited�by�the�driver.�The�minimum
value�that�can�be�selected�is�30�km/h.

If�required,�the�driver�can�consciously�exceed�the�speed�limit�by�firmly�accelerating�(pressing�the
accelerator�pedal�down�fully).�The�limit�is�automatically�reactivated�when�the�driver�speed�drops�below
the�set�limit.

The�Speed�Limiter�does�not�initiate�any�active�brake�interventions.�This�means�that�if�the�driver
inadvertently�exceeds�the�set�speed�limit,�as�can�be�the�case�during�downhill�driving�for�example,�the
system�does�not�brake�automatically.

7.2.1.�Operation
The�Speed�Limiter�can�be�activated�and�deactivated�using�the�LIM�button�on�the�multifunction
steering�wheel�(MFL).�The�vehicle’s�current�speed�is�adopted�as�the�speed�limit.�If�the�system�is
activated�while�the�vehicle�is�stationary,�30�km/h�is�automatically�set�as�the�speed�limit.�The�driver
can�increase�or�decrease�the�chosen�speed�limit�by�using�the�rocker�switch�on�the�left�side�of�the
multifunction�steering�wheel�(MFL).

A�mark�is�set�at�the�corresponding�speed�in�the�KOMBI.

The�system�should�only�be�used�when�it�is�possible�to�drive�at�a�constant�speed.�The�driver�is�solely
responsible�for�the�vehicle�and�the�speed�at�which�it�is�driven.

Automatic�Parking�was�previously�known�as�Parking�Maneuvering�Assistant�(PMA).
The�control�module�is�still�referred�to�as�PMA�in�technical�systems.

8.1.�Maneuvering�out�of�a�parking�space
With�the�launch�of�the�Service�Pack�2018,�Automatic�Parking�supports�maneuvering�out�of�parallel
parking�spaces.�Here�the�system�assumes�acceleration,�braking�and�steering�until�the�vehicle�comes
to�a�stop�in�such�a�way�that�it�can�be�driven�by�the�driver�out�of�the�parking�space�without�further
steering�wheel�movement.�The�necessary�drive�position�changes�and�switching�on�the�turn�indicator
are�likewise�performed�by�the�PMA.�The�LED�lights�of�the�multifunction�steering�wheel�light�up�green
