How to use the Active Cruise Control in your BMW and Lane Keeping Assistant

[@JohnSwanagon]

Just bought an X5 M50i. Thanks for showing me how to use this system! Was wondering how. Very cool!

[@Bmwlauren]

We're so glad! And Congrats on the car! :D

[@aris1956]

It is very convenient, practical and relaxing especially on the highway when there are long lines of cars and you are in "stop and go". I always use it. 👍😉

[@GeertDelmulle]

I have the full package on my gen 3 X3, and I like to use it as much as possible. I always say to my passengers that there are two people driving my car: the car and I (in that order). :-)

[@mtnbiker014]

I wish there was more demo, and road video, of lane keep. Can’t tell if it’s the more advanced and superior lane centering, or just lane keep which leads to lane edge wandering left and right.

[@Horizon301.]

Greta system with the adaptive cruise control. Not sure why it’s usually an option on BMW’s though. On a VW Golf it’s standard, even on the manuals

[@torreyhill6876]

She's a beauty and so is Lauren 😍

[@TheSamraf78]

....worth adding that whilst ACC/driving assist is in operation, I believe if you were to left or right indicate (blinker?) for example, the vehicle will change the desired lane itself!

[@aydanvillarreal5303]

I really like this idea Scott! Great addition to the channel

[@jamesblaisdell5571]

Lauren does a great job of these videos she is so talented!!

[@Bmwlauren]

Thank you!! :)

Thanks Brian!

[@stuartkennedy7107]

Stunning machine. The X1 and X2 must be due a similar interior upgrade soon . I’m due to change my car now but don’t want to buy an existing model only to get that model upgraded soon after.

[@TheSamraf78]

Oh, and the Stop&Go function is great, which stops and goes itself in a traffic jam.

[@TheSamraf78]

the heart is much appreciated, thx

[@aalazawi7287]

Nothing beat x5 always and for ever

[@yorkudegree4358]

Appreciate the videos, but really enjoy the “How To.” I have a 2019 fully loaded BMW with these features, but have little idea on activating. Lauren is so knowledgeable, glad she’s involved and looking forward to the next one.

[@haptics2]

The recently updated software makes assisted driving lane changes more soft. I also have 19 X5 and it seemed rough at beginning, but after update (I brought it it for backup camera recall update), it's much softer when changing lane. When you are on the assisted driving mode, if you activate the blinker without being clicked in, arrow in the direction of your blinker will show and car will steer in to the lane for you. Once you start to trust your car, it makes driving in traffic jam much better experience. You know you paid for it :)

[@pyrocrew13]

Why are there no videos showing how to use basic cruise without assistance?? For instance; you have a travel trunk, or bike rack or small trailer that has break lights and attaches to the trailer wiring in back of vehicle. Car will not let you turn on the assisted cruise. How do you set basic cruise with something attached.

[@shookone568]

I initially didn’t like this model. Looked like Jeep to me. But it’s grown on me. It looks really like. This car is so functional. Great video.

[@thinkpixelsblog]

I have this on a ‘21 4 Series and I’m curious if it always triggers the brakes when it slows down or will it first let off the gas and only use the brake if the vehicle needs to slow at a faster pace? Thanks for the informative video.

[@nicolocolaleo6095]

the revving part? please do it, but in the revving film the foot of the model who accelerates :)

[@lorenzodasvita5952]

Nicolò Colaleo Yes ,that would be very cool 👍

[@wayne1516]

Hey Scott, If the car does not have Driver Assistance Professional Package, does it still have distance controlled active cruise control?

[@stephenjones6902]

Great info Scott and Lauren thanks.

[@paulpateman3968]

Brilliant addition to your channel Scott Lauren so knowledgable and beautiful what a combination love the colour of the X5 😎😎

[@Bmwlauren]

Thank you Paul! :) :)

[@Builtbyronny]

Great system I got this on my 530e 👍

[@Bmwlauren]

It's so great on the 530E! Helps with maximizing the range on the car :)

[@DemonBrandon]

Anyone else miss BMW Lauren?

[@kristenmoon9964]

Yeah i'm going to be buying a 2020 x3 xdrive30e with factory pickup. Literally every option on it. I am bumping up from a 2013 ford focus with no options LOL, like literally not even cruise control. The BMW's options are a bit daunting, but I LOVE that they're all there. I am trying to scour youtube trying to get a good idea about how to actually operate each option. For me, on this option specifically, I am going from no cruise control to a BMW that can ... keep the set speed, identify the speed limit, keep my lane, pace off the car in front, auto brake, etc. Like ... it's a bit much to take in. I am planning on breaking it in with a cross US tour, so I'll have a solid feel for all the functions by the end, but yeah. Thanks for the video. Lauren is a great guide.

[@ScottDoesMore]

Does it go down to 0 if heavy traffic stops, and go back up speed from the full stop?

[@ScottBMWSmith]

Yes.

[@kawaZR1000]

Nice tutorial but what happened to Trisha? Miss her so much...

[@madcars63]

What about the driving view?

[@PHOTOCONVENTION]

will this turn around bends? how about changing lanes?

[@Omid01]

Hey man Thanks for your useful vlogs Could you film more BMW X6 If you have any metallic white 40i xdrive The engine sound and etc I saw the green m50i one but there was no 40i Thanks

[@teuwaiseu_love]

very informative video, thanks!

[@thomasstaskiewicz549]

Why is Lauren looking around when changing lanes? Doesn't the car have blind spot sensors?

[@Bmwlauren]

Because you should always turn your head to change lanes, like you learn when you're learning how to drive.

[@thomasstaskiewicz549]

@@Bmwlauren Thank you, love the videos, but you drive like my 16 yr old.

[@Bmwlauren]

@@thomasstaskiewicz549 glad you like the videos and sorry you’re bothered by my using road rules appropriately. So glad you gathered my driving style within a video of a few minutes long

[@andystreet4022]

Both features are defunct in the UK. Traffic congestion caused by minimal transport investment is killing motoring.

[@Bmwlauren]

Unfortunately, here in Los Angeles, it's also terrible!

[@mustafayldrm285]

California is beautiful

[@curtismendy1519]

More test drives Scott ☺

[@marciaabout]

Can this be installed to a 2019 3 series

[@UltimatePedalBabes]

That's so cool!

[@julianpretorius6238]

Where is trish

[@puckog8693]

^ ^ ^

[@djg1028]

So you can’t use Lane keeping assist and distance keeping at the same time, it’s one or the other?

[@ScottBMWSmith]

You can.

[@djg1028]

Scott BMW Smith that’s good to know you can use both at the same time, so the car will keep its lane and it’s distance at the same time with cruise on.

[@ScottBMWSmith]

Yup.

[@clickhitz]

love it.

[@deddyenjoylife3472]

What bmw model has this feature?

[@Mike_5]

Does Active Cruise Control In a BMW mean not tailgating the Audi in front of you ?!

[@QueenRachelle4974]

Hi Scott! ♥️♥️♥️😎😎😎

[@jamie2954]

What is the name of this blue paint?

[@janvanderburg443]

Tanzanite blue I believe

[@caskraker]

The way this woman looks over her shoulder when entering the freeway says it all. And this drives an M50i…..

[@mattjones5272]

Need these pictures on your instagram Lauren

[@jonathanbaguskevin]

Next revuw the nightvision on bmw

[@clnred]

So she wont use it!? She can do better? Use all the aids available to you to avoid crashes.

[@Bmwlauren]

You're funny :) What I said was, that I don't prefer to use the lane keep assist (when the car steers itself)

[@clnred]

@@Bmwlauren I hear you. But. I had this and if you relax and let it do its thing it is good. I found specific things and locations weren't reliable but in my f10 I would say I used auto drive 50% of the time. And always on motorways

[@Bmwlauren]

I like the ACC with distance keeping. I do not like when it steers for me. I enjoy driving the car. The BMW system is amazing. And what did people do in the days before all of these safety systems? I didn't say not to use it. I said that I will not.

[@janistrubovics7218]

Show me better, how to use Dsc off button😂

[@beagle7622]

What an ergonomic nightmare that dashboard is. Far to much information to distract a driver .Just my opinion, I did ergonomics as part of my engineering degree, that’s too complicated.

[@Bmwlauren]

It's all about preference. Some find the Head up display also distracting. BMW allows you to turn off some of these things to minimize the displayed information.
