Long-range Radar Sensor: Notes

2011 BMW 740iSECTION Notes

In terms of physical design, the long-range radar sensor (LRR) for ACC Stop&Go in the F01/F02 is largely identical to the one fitted in the E6x LCI.

Functionally, however, it differs from the sensor in the E6x LCI in that it also calculates the new collision warning of the Adaptive Brake Assistant.

In the F01/F02, the long-range radar sensor no longer has a connection to the wake-up line. Instead, it is supplied with power by terminal 15N and is thus hard switched. Terminal 15N is tapped off at the front fuse carrier. The long-range radar sensor contains a terminating resistor (for the local CAN) as it does in the E6x LCI.

The installation location of the long-range radar sensor and the way it is mounted have been adapted to the structural conditions specific to the F01/F02.
