brake pedal or by pressing the Resume button. And even when Active Cruise
Control with Stop & Go is active, the driver is able to influence the speed of the
vehicle at any time by giving gas or applying the brakes.
Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go uses the latest generation of radar sen-
sors. As soon as the car remains below the minimum distance from the vehicle
ahead set by the driver, the system adjusts the speed of the car by intervening
in drivetrain management and building up brake pressure in accordance
with current requirements. The maximum deceleration allowed by Active Cruise

Control with Stop & Go is 4 metres/sec and is limited at higher speeds to a
more comfortable 2.5 metres/sec

.
Should the driver preferably intervene because the driver ahead is braking all-
out, he is urged to do so by optical and acoustic signals. At the same time the
response thresholds for the Brake Assistant are lowered and the Brake Standby
function of DSC Dynamic Stability Control is activated.
Everything in clear view: Park Distance Control (PDC),
Back-Up Camera, Side View and Top View.
The new BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo comes as standard with PDC Park
Distance Control at the rear and is available as an option with the same system
at the front. This is supplemented by a Back-Up Camera projecting pictures in
colour and in the right perspective on to the Control Display.
A further option is Side View using two cameras integrated in the front wheel
arches to monitor cross-traffic at a very early point in time. The images recorded
by these cameras are transmitted to the Control Display and in particular offer
the driver a good overview of traffic conditions to the left and right in front of the
car when leaving narrow and hard-to-see driveways or parking buildings.
Top View provides an even more detailed and clearer overview, using two
additional cameras integrated in the exterior mirrors. The data provided by these
cameras, the Side View cameras, the Back-Up Camera and the PDC sensors
on the car and its surroundings are processed by a central computer generating
an overall image presenting the car and its surroundings from a bird’s-eye
perspective and enabling the driver to manoeuvre with particular precision
within the tightest space.
