2019 BMW 3 Series GT 5 HB AWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2019 BMW 3 Series GT 5 HB AWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Standard
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"turning off the engine. dangerous issue when one stops at the end of a trip, one is almost always in forward or reverse gear. in this situation, when one pushes the stop/start button at the end of a trip, the engine turns off and the car goes electronically into park. no need to touch the gear lever at all. however, if the engine is turned off and one is in neutral the car does not automatically shift into park. this almost caused an accident. i was in neutral, pushed the engine off button and started to leave the car, which began to roll down a small hill, as it was not in park. this happened to me twice before i realized the reason ' for some reason i was in neutral when i turned the engine off i have since learned that the system was designed this way. if one is in forward or reverse gear and turns the engine off, the park is automatically engaged. if on is in neutral and turns the engine off, the car stays in neutral ' horrible design. i was told that this was done for towing the car. there should have been consistency across all three gear positions!"
