Standard and Optional Equipment

The following table is a comparison of standard equipment and options available for driver assistance systems. This comparison is between the E65 and F01:

DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM STANDARD AND OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT REFERENCE CHART

System E65 F01
Std. Optional Std. Optional
Higher level Integrated Chassis Management      
Driver Assistance Systems         
Cruise control (FGR)      
Cruise control with braking function (Dynamic Cruise Control - DCC)      
Active Cruise Control      
Active Cruise Control with Stop and Go      
Adaptive Brake Assistant with warning function      
Active Blind Spot Detection (Lane Change Warning)      

In the F01/F02, "Dynamic Cruise Control" (DCC) supersedes the cruise control (FGR) function available as standard in the E65.

The optional extra "Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function" (ACC Stop&Go) provides optimum assistance to the driver not only in smoothly flowing traffic but also in traffic jam situations. Both systems are based on the new architecture of the Integrated Chassis Management (ICM).

The primary aim of both items of optional equipment, ACC and ACC Stop&Go, is to relax the driver and, therefore, to make an improvement to the comfort/convenience area of the vehicle.

To assist the driver in panic braking situations as well, each of these items of optional equipment has been enhanced by the Adaptive Brake Assistant function. This safety function, which was first available in the E6x LCI, has been supplemented by a new warning function in the F01/F02. It alerts the driver to a risk of collision detected by the long-range radar sensor. This enables the driver to intervene even faster and, potentially, to avoid an accident.
