There’s no question that the BMW X3 showcases stunning style, powerful performance, and advanced technology. But all that doesn’t recognize one of its most impressive aspects: standard safety and driver assistance.
With the collection of BMW X3 safety features, peace of mind comes standard for drivers near Norwood, Westwood, and Dedham, Massachusetts.
To help you get to know them better, our team at BMW of Norwood has compiled this guide to the BMW X3 safety features. Read on and feel free to contact us with any questions along the way!
First things first, let’s dive into the standard and built-in safety features that come standard in the BMW X3. Each time you climb into your seat in the X3, whether that’s the driver’s seat or somewhere in the back row, you’re well taken care of.
Throughout the cabin of the BMW X3, there are countless safety features ready to spring into action in the case of an emergency. That starts with the driver’s and passenger’s front airbag supplemental restraint system, seat-mounted front side-impact airbags, 3-point safety belts, and front and rear Head Protection System.
With the Active Protection System, you’ll get another level of security. When this system detects imminent collisions, action is automatically taken to pretension safety belts, close all windows and the panoramic moonroof, and activates post-crash braking. It also comes with a Fatigue and Focus Alert feature that’ll track driving patterns and alert the person in the driver seat when it’s time to pull over and take a break.
On top of the BMW X3 safety features built into this stunning Sports Activity Vehicle® (SAV®), you’ll also find a suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies that watches your back along the road.
At the forefront of that technology is the Active Driving Assistant. With it comes a handful of intuitive systems that’ll serve as a second set of eyes for your BMW. Those include:
● Frontal Collision Warning: Designed to help avoid incidents on the road, this system provides visual and acoustic alerts to let you know when you’re moving too close to an object or vehicle in front of you. It also includes City Collision Mitigation to help avoid an accident in congested areas. At speeds up to 35 MPH, these systems will intervene, applying brakes and potentially reducing the risk of collision.
● Active Blind Spot Detection: To help you keep an eye on other vehicles and objects on either side of your BMW, the Active Blind Spot Detection system provides visual cues on the exterior mirrors when an object is too close. It’ll also provide steering wheel vibration for an added alert to objects in your blind spots.
● Lane Departure Warning: With the Lane Departure Warning system, your BMW X3 will keep track of the lanes you’re driving in, providing an automated alert when you start to sway out of them.
While the Active Driving Assistant helps you reduce the risk of a collision, sometimes these incidents still occur. When they do, you’ll have an extra level of assurance from the BMW Assist eCall™ system. This provides a number of post-emergency features, such as Emergency Request (SOS button) and Enhanced Automatic Collision Notification. No matter what, the BMW X3 always has your protection as its number one priority.
