The ultrasonic sensors measure both sides of
the vehicle when driving slowly forward. Suita-
ble parking spaces are calculated based on the
objects detected, e.g., parking vehicles. The
system status is
displayed.
The system calculates the best possible park-
ing line for driving in or out of parking spaces,
and takes control of the
vehicle while parking.
The operating principle and operation of Park
Assist is divided into the following steps:
▷
Parking space search.
▷
Turning on.
▷
Parking.
▷
Driving out of parking spaces.
The parking manoeuver while parking is per-
formed
automatically.
When driving out of parallel parking spaces,
the vehicle maneuvers automatically until it
reaches a position where it can be driven out
of the parking space without further steering
movements.
When driving
out of perpendicular parking
spaces, the vehicle is maneuvered out of the
parking space to enable continued driving in
the desired direction.
A
parking maneuver can be interrupted and
continued
manually.
Settings can be customized as desired, e.g., to
adjust how parking maneuvers are displayed
or to set a sound for
suitable parking spaces.
The Automatic Parking Assistant Professional
increases the comfort and range of uses of
the Automatic Parking Assistant. In addition to
the parking methods of the Automatic Parking
Assistant, parking in parking spaces that are
marked with lines is
possible.
The parking maneuver can also be performed
using Remote Control Parking on a smart-
phone.
In addition,
note the information in Chapter
"Parking assistance systems".
Vehicle features and options
This system may not be available in the
owned vehicle, e.g. due to the selected op-
tional equipment, the national-market version
or the option for later enabling and software
updates. This also applies to individual func-
tions of the
system.

Functional limitations
The Maneuver Assistant does not provide sup-
port when towing a
trailer.
System limits can cause functional limitations
such as in the following situations:
▷
With poor GPS reception.
▷
On steep uphill or downhill grades.
▷
In case of recorded maneuvers where the
system minimum distance to objects can-
not be maintained.

Greatly deviating conditions when storing
and driving the distance covered, for in-
stance other tires or changed ambient con-
ditions like light conditions or weather.
▷
Delayed display of overlapping stored ma-
neuvers when driving into the activation
area.
▷

the option selected in the My
BMW app, the vehicle is either parked at
the end of the parking maneuver or you can
take control of the vehicle again.
System limits
Due to ambient conditions, e.g., impaired Blue-
tooth connection transmission due to external
faults, Remote Control Parking may be inter-
rupted.
If the power
supply of the vehicle battery is
not sufficiently ensured, e.g., due to excessive
discharge, Remote Control Parking may not
be available. Follow the instructions in the My
BMW App.
It may not be
easy to maneuver into a parking
space. This function is offered on the My BMW
app but cannot be used due to ambient condi-
tions.
Back Up Assistant
Principle
The Back-up Assistant helps when reversing,
e.g., when pulling out of tight or unclear park-
ing or road
situations.
The vehicle stores the driving movements of
the last distance covered. This stored distance
can be driven in reverse with automated steer-
ing.
The Back-up
Assistant takes control of steer-
ing. The driver must control the speed using
the accelerator and brake
pedals.
With Back-up Assistant: a maximum distance
of 164 ft/50 m is
saved.
With Reversing Assistant Professional: a maxi-
mum distance of 656 ft/200 m
is saved.
In addition, note the information in Chapter
"Parking assistance systems".
Vehicle features and options
This system may not be available in the
owned vehicle, e.g. due to the selected op-
tional equipment, the national-market version
or the option for later enabling and software
updates. This also applies to individual func-
tions of the
system.
For information on whether a function is cur-
rently available in the vehicle or when the func-
tion can be installed in the vehicle, contact an
authorized service center or another qualified
service center or repair
shop.
