Integrated Chassis Management: Notes

2011 BMW 740iSECTION Notes

The new ICM control unit in the F01/F02 essentially performs the calculations for the control functions that influence the longitudinal and lateral dynamics. The ICM control unit also contains the control functions of "Dynamic Cruise Control" and "Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function".

In addition, the ICM coordinates the control of the vibration actuator in the steering wheel for the "Lane Departure Warning" and "Lane Change Warning" driver assistance functions. Also integrated into the ICM control unit are micromechanical sensors that supply the driving dynamics signals (in previous vehicles, these were generated by the separate DSC sensor).
