BMW 5 Series: Warning of people in danger
If the system detects a person in the defined area in front of the vehicle and if there is the danger of a collision with this person, a warning symbol appears in the Control Display and Head-up Display.
Although both the shape and the heat radiation are analyzed, false warnings cannot be ruled out.
