This includes volume control, accepting or rejecting phone calls, acknowledging check control messages, closing an information window, changing the camera angle etc. There is also the option of pairing a specific gesture with an individual choice of function.
With the Remote Control Parking and BMW Display Key with touchscreen, a driver can manoeuvre the all-new BMW 5 Series into a narrow parking space from outside the car. The driver activates the remote-controlled parking function from outside the vehicle via the BMW display key. Besides other information, the smart key also displays service reminders, cabin temperature, mileage range and fuel level. All acceleration and braking actions are monitored and controlled by the Park Distance Control (PDC), the Parking Assistant with the Surround View camera, while the engine can be started and switched off by remote control. Surround View shows a bird’s-eye view of the driver’s car as well as a three-dimensional image of the traffic situation. Any obstacles or other road users that suddenly appear can be spotted even earlier in this way.
