2008 BMW 528i StandardFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Zoom function

The zoom function can be selected as needed. To do this, select "Zoom" in the BMW Night Vision menu.

The zoom is calculated by the night-vision camera. The zoom function can only be selected when the "Full image" display is not selected.

When zoom is active, the display is automatically enlarged 1.5-fold at speeds of 70 km/h upwards. Here, the viewing angle of the night-vision camera is reduced from 36Β° to 24Β°.

Zoom is automatically deactivated when the vehicle's speed drops below 60 km/h. The viewing angle of the night-vision camera is restored to 36Β°.

(zoom IN over 70 km/h and zoom OUT under 60 km/h: currently only encoded for Europe version)
