moves the steering wheel appropriately in order to back up precisely into  
the parking space available. As the main feature the driver then receives 
functions guiding him though the parking process.  
Acoustic and visual messages from PDC Park Distance Control and from  
the Surround View system likewise available for the first time help the driver  
in adjusting his distance from other vehicles or obstacles ahead of or behind  
the car in the parking space chosen. 
Innovative Surround View:  
perfect overview in the process of manoeuvring the car. 
The new BMW 5 Series Sedan is also available with a back-up camera 
providing images presented in colour and in an optimum perspective in  
the Control Display. Interactive tracking lines show the driver the optimum 
steering wheel angle for parking as well as the tightest turning circle. 
The rear-view camera is particularly helpful when hooking up a trailer, a zoom 
function serving to enlarge the size of the image around the towbar. Special 
static lines in the image help the driver in correctly assessing the distance to 
another vehicle or object, while an interactive docking line geared to the  
angle of the steering wheel enables the driver to back up to the trailer towbar 
smoothly and precisely. 
Surround View available for the first time in the new BMW 5 Series Sedan 
provides an even more comprehensive and complete picture of the car  
and its immediate surroundings. In addition to the back-up camera and the 
PDC sensors, Surround View uses two cameras in the side mirrors, the  
data obtained in this way on the car and its surroundings being processed  
by a central computer. This serves to provide an overall picture presented  
in the Control Display and showing both the car and its surroundings from  
a bird’s eye perspective. This clear overview then enables the driver to 
manoeuvre precisely even in confined space. 
Side View is a sub-system of the Surround View option providing specific 
assistance for the driver in appropriate situations. Side View uses two 
cameras integrated in the front wings of the cars and serving to monitor traffic 
moving crosswise to the vehicle. The images obtained in this way are likewise 
transmitted to the Control Display and not only ensure additional comfort in 
manoeuvring, but also provide an early overview of traffic conditions to the  
left and right of the car, particularly when driving out of a narrow and unclear 
driveway or car park.
