If necessary, the fuel pump stops and the battery turns off to prevent fire or explosion.
⦁ Dual-mode brake lights: A dual-mode brake light informs drivers who are driving in the rear of the type of braking you are applying.
If you press the brake normally, as in everyday traffic, then only one section of the brake lights will light up. If you apply emergency braking, then the entire surface of the taillights will light up, which will signal the rear stop moving about your emergency stop. Drivers instinctively understand that something happened wrong and can respond in a timely manner, and it’s much easier to see the big red lights.
⦁ BMW Night vision system: The Night Vision System offers to equip your car with a night vision system, which thanks to the thermal imaging camera is able to distinguish between people and animals at a distance of up to 300 meters.

⦁ Headlights: The BMW X6 comes standard with adaptive headlights that allow the driver to see the road more clearly when cornering.
The headlights "track the road", turning in the direction of rotation and lighting exactly the place where you are going to turn, thanks to the system of determining the angle of rotation. This has the best effect on the safety of driving in the dark.
BMW X6 Chassis:
⦁ Active suspension Dynamic Drive: With active suspension control system Dynamic Drive BMW X6 is able to maneuver with very high accuracy.
When cornering at speed, the body roll is almost zero, due to the stabilizer bars located on the axles. For the driver, this means accurate and confident turns, and for passengers a comfortable ride.
⦁ XDrive all-wheel-drive system: The intelligent xDrive all-wheel drive system used in the BMW X6 ensures the best possible grip on any road surface.
For example, when driving on dry, even asphalt, xDrive transfers 40 percent of engine power to the front axle and 60 percent to the rear. When changing the road surface, the system adjusts the ratio of transmitted power and thereby stabilizes steering and stability.
⦁ Cornering Braking Control (CBC): The BMW X6 is equipped with Cornering Braking Control (CBC), which helps prevent rear axle skidding when cornering.
When braking during a turn, the rear axle unloads due to inertia, which can lead to skidding and even a car overturn (with a very sharp turn).
The CBC system prevents skidding by adjusting and changing the brake pressure of the rear and front wheels, which helps to reduce the risk of skidding.
⦁ Dynamic Traction Control: The DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) can increase or decrease wheel slip to provide the best traction on any surface.
The system operates only at high speed in the event of a critical situation, helping the driver not to lose control.
⦁ Active Steering system: Active Steering can significantly improve steering precision and agility.
Depending on the speed, a special electric motor changes the steering angle, helping to keep the car on a given path.
The lower the speed, the more maneuverable the car becomes and vice versa. This allows you to perfectly control the movement of the car at high speed and maneuver in the yard or on a bad road when driving at low speed.
