Stop and Go Cruise Control

OzJedi · 08-04-2019, 10:08 PM

Hi,

I am just wondering if the car resumes automatically if a vehicle in front moves when set in Stop and Go Cruise Control Mode with both Lane assist and distance assist ON.

I make sure my hands are on steering, my eyes facing on the road straight and wait for few seconds but no luck. Every time I have press my accelerator paddle to start my car from stationery.

Has anyone been able to use this feature without having to press accelerator paddle?

Thanks!

Usually there is a time limit - on the Q7 it's within 3 seconds. After that, you have to either restart with the accelerator or the ACC lever/dial.

In my G30 5 series, ACC will restart itself if I'm stopped for a few seconds. If longer I must lightly press the accelerator to re-engage ACC. Not sure what's changed for the G05 but us 5 series drivers don't (yet) have the camera watching our eyes. We must hold the wheel.

Yes. If the vehicle in front of you moves off inside about 3 seconds, the cruise control will move you forward without yuou having to touch the accelerator.

I only touch it once the Auto Hold light comes on on the dash. You will see the little vehicle in the HUD start to move and flash, which means the cruise control has detected the traffic ahead moving but it requires you to manually start your vehicle moving by pressing the accelerator.

That is not the way the X5 works though. It will restart by itself. I use it quite often through town and it will stop at lights when the car in front of me stops and go again by itself when the car in front moves.

I did a test one time and looked away at a light, when the car in front of me move the engine started but it did not go until I hit the gas pedal. My guess is it uses the camera to make sure you are looking the road after the car has been stopped.

Edit: I'm describing how it works in the US, it may be different in other countries.

OzJedi · 08-04-2019, 11:59 PM

I tried with both Auto hold Off and On but no difference. I can see sign in Heads Up Display which shows moving vehicle ahead.

I believe it has to be in the Plus mode to do it without having to hit resume. If it is not in Plus mode then it is abut 3 seconds. The car decides when it is in Plus mode.

Yes, it uses camera to check if your eyes are on road.
Wondering how it will work if someone wearing spectacles or sun glasses.

What is the 'Plus mode'?

In USA and some other countries, they get a Plus version, formerly known as Traffic Jam Assist. This allows the car to resume control assuming you have your eyes on the road.

*i'm in the US*

no it does not have to be in the plus mode. i use the regular driving assistant and it will start moving by itself, as long as it detects that you are looking forward. i have not noticed any time limit; but for sure it has worked after more than 30 seconds. you have to make sure the camera that watches your eyes is enabled for it to work

This. It does not need to be in Plus mode in order for it to stop and go by itself after an "unlimited" period of time as long as you are looking forward. Like other features, it probably works differently, or not at all, in other countries.

It is an infrared camera so it works just fine.

omaralt · 08-05-2019, 08:53 AM

btw on a separate note i had the opportunity to use the Driving assistant plus in a traffic jam the other day. it. was. amazing! i literally did not touch the gas or steering wheel for over 2 minutes!

mnewnam · 08-05-2019, 10:00 AM

As long as you're looking straight ahead it will auto resume no matter how long you've been sitting in my experience. Even with sunglasses on it works for me. If I'm ever looking out the side window when traffic starts, the car will beep to prompt me to look forward and press the accelerator. It also shows a car (the one used to indicate it detects a car ahead) zooming off on the HUD and main screens when it does this.

anuj452 · 08-05-2019, 10:08 AM

i use it v often here in US... the car will resume driving as long as you are looking on the road and the stop is not long enough, i am not sure how many seconds but its definitely more than 15-20 sec... i guess

If the car is stopped and does not move, i simply push the click wheel forward on the steering (the one that we use to increase and decrease the cruise control speed) and it will resume driving

OzJedi · 08-05-2019, 10:53 AM

Same in the UK. It will definitely resume after >60 seconds, without ADM+ Glasses are fine as are non-polarised sunglasses.

It's 5AR - Traffic Jam Assist, offers itself in the console as Assisted Driving Plus, when the right conditions are met.

Yes, and the easiest way to tell if you have successfully switched to plus mode is the green LEDs on the steering wheel. Those green LEDs would stay "ON", meaning that you don't need to hold the steering wheel. They would turn off when it switched itself out of the plus mode back to normal adaptive cruise control.

On F15 you can also hit Resume button instead of pushing the accelerator. Don’t have my G05 yet, so can’t test if it is the same.

Yes, resume button also works.

TJ_BMW · 08-06-2019, 01:21 AM

If the country you are in allows the use of the IR camera, it will resume automatically if you are looking straight ahead. Otherwise you need to use the accelerator pedal.
In Australia the IR camera is deactived for dumb reasons.
