New Features





The following is a list of new features specific to the E60. Due to the different legal requirements in the USA, additional features for the passive safety system ASK were required.
The new features consist of the following:
^ Up-front sensors for detecting a front end crash and adequate provision made for occupant not a wearing seat belt when the front passengers airbag triggers
^ Passive knee protection on drivers and passengers sides, because occupants are not required to wear seat belts by law in all 50 states
^ Automatic deactivation of the airbags on the passenger side if the seat is occupied by a child restraint system holding a child up to one year old (weight dependent).
^ Visual and acoustic seatbelt warning
^ The cars have an emergency call button as standard, so that occupants can call for assistance at any time in the event of a crash or a breakdown
