Has anyone seen or tried the “Emergency Stop Funtion”?
From the manual:
Activating the emergency stop function Pull the switch for the parking brake briefly to activate the emergency stop function. ▷ After the switch is released, an automatic lane change may be initiated where required. ▷ The system will take control of the vehicle for a maximum of 2 minutes. ▷ The hazard warning system is switched on. ▷ An Emergency Request is triggered. Canceling the emergency stop function The driver can cancel the emergency stop func‐ tion by actively taking control of the vehicle throughout the entire process. For instance, the emergency stop function will be canceled in the following situations: ▷ When steering. ▷ When using the turn signal. ▷ During acceleration. ▷ When switching off the hazard warning sys‐ tem. ▷ When canceling the Emergency Request. ▷ When switching the selector lever position at standstill. ▷ When the driver's foot remains on the accel‐ erator pedal after the function has been trig‐ gered. ▷ When the switch of the parking brake is pressed. At standstill As soon as the vehicle is stationary, the system will carry out the following settings: ▷ Selector lever position P is engaged. ▷ Parking brake is locked. ▷ Interior lights are switched on. ▷ Central locking system is unlocked. System limits Use the system only in the event of a driver fail‐ ure. The system cannot replace the driving perform‐ ance of a driver who is fit to drive. |

Yeah, no.
I don't think I ever want to need to use it, and I don't think I want to try this out just for fun. But then again, I'm someone who has never tried my launch control or turned disc off in any of my BMWs.

^^^^ Well, that was not very exciting. I guess I shouldn't be too scared to try it and find out for myself
Maybe I'll try Luanch control too while I am at it.

If properly equipped, it also will initiate a emergency call function as well as a host of other features. Says it can take control of the vehicle for up to two minutes. That’s a long time. That would be level III autonomous.

Jay did a video on this as well. Is this standard on all X5's or is it part of a driver assist package?

And it shouldn’t activate if you are in fact “actively steering” the car. Might be good if they do know what to do in the (unlikely) event of a real medical emergency?

If your kids can activate that they can also activate the start/stop button right next to it but hopefully they won’t be loose in the car while driving. I have small kids, it’s a non-issue. |
