BMW X3 Owners Manual: System limits

Detection range The detection potential of the camera is limited.

Thus a warning might not be issued or be issued late.

E. g. the following situations may not be detected:

• Partially covered pedestrians.
• Pedestrians that are not detected as such because of the viewing angle or contour.
• Pedestrians outside of the detection range.
• Pedestrians having a body size less than 32 in/80 cm.

Functional limitations The system may not be fully functional or may not be available in the following situations:

• In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snowfall.
• In tight curves.
• If the driving stability control systems are deactivated, e.g. DSC OFF.
• If the camera viewing field or the front windshield are dirty or covered.
• Up to 10 seconds after the start of the engine, via the Start/Stop knob.
• During calibration of the camera immediately after vehicle shipment.
• If there is constant blinding effects because of oncoming light, e. g., from the sun low in the sky.
• When it is dark outside.
