The fact that an electric BMW i4 could not perform routine software updates surprised the owner. Why is this? It was parked on a steep slope.
A message appeared on the central display of Clare Elizabeth's premium electric vehicle, as first reported by The Drive. To begin the installation, the road is too steep. Kindly park the car on level ground. This must be somewhat frustrating to deal with whenever the vehicle requires an update because the owner lives on a hill.
Pitch, yaw, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, and deceleration, among other sensors, are all present in the vehicle. that enable it to comprehend its orientation, enabling it to recognize incline," a BMW spokesperson explained. In the event that the programming is interrupted or goes wrong, it is likely a catch-all, every-worst-case, no-matter-how-unlikely scenario safety precaution to try to prevent the vehicle from moving.
In essence, BMW does not wish to place the owner in a dangerous circumstance. Even though it is highly unlikely, anything can happen, and the vehicle would remain on level ground and not roll away at high speed if the parking brake were to fail for some reason. Interestingly, a BMW software update requires additional prerequisites.
The manufacturer stipulates that the battery must be sufficiently charged, the transmission must be in park, and the engine must be turned off (if the vehicle is an ICE vehicle).The manufacturer recently released a brand-new software update for iDrive 7 and 8 vehicles. The free upgrade introduced remote control parking to owners in some countries, in addition to a number of brand-new safety and comfort features. Additionally, the digital key was updated and now has an activation code that can be used inside the vehicle.
Due to a defective pedestrian warning sound, the larger iX SUV and the BMW i4 were recently recalled. A low-speed sound that alerts pedestrians to the approaching electric vehicle is required. Due to the possibility that the control unit for the artificial sound generator might not be able to produce a sound, the Bimmers brace was recalled.
