The car will only starts braking when the car is completely on the lane in front of you. It is written in the manual. So if it moving slowly in front of you and you are accelerating it will continue to do so. Kind of stupid I agree. |

There are 2 other instances where I think it is an issue: down or uphill. All 3 scenario’s are on my daily route from home to office. I just don’t get it that my car can detect a danger but the ACC just continues and the emergency self-braking system does NOT activate. That logic is nowhere explained in the user manual. I expect to always be able to depend on the emergency self-braking when the car itself detects the danger. Guess that this is not the case. |

This is my fourth BMW with ACC so I know where it works en where it doesn't. I know the situation you discribe is prone for errors and I also had accelerations where I didn't want them. When the lanes go from one to two the system gets confused and can start accelerating with you on the left half and the other car stil in front of you on the right half. I know this happens so I always keep my foot on the brake or even turn acc off until it is on the correct lane again. Same for the situation with a traffic light. ACC works perfect if you are just following someone. Emergency braking has saved me a couple of times the last years. Once driving 120 and approaching a very slow moving traffic jam. Got the warning in time and I start braking and the car applied maximum power. Another also in a trafic jam 30 km/h and not paying attention and the car stopped itself. |

In regards to steering wheel vibration, it is exclusive to steering related / left right conditions. Blind spot, lane warning, loss of lane when using steering assist. Forward collision alerts do not trigger vibration. In relation to the driver infrared monitoring camera, the only time it will alert is during enhanced traffic jam assist, after enabling ACC, going under 40mph on a divided highway, getting the prompt to enable eTJA, and enabling it. Once you're in the full hands off mode with steady green lights on the steering wheel, the camera is watching and will alert within 5-6 seconds if you close your eyes or look away. It's impressive when you are fully enabled and working. |
