AUTOMOTION WHEN THE 1995 BMW 740i arrives this fall, you will be hearing about its improved handling and ride, roomier interior, improved aerodynamics, and yelvety- smooth 4.0-litre V8 engine. But that’s just part of the story. The BMW 7-series has hundreds of small, but significant, features that make this a true luxury/perfor- mance automobile. Here then, are some of those small. but significant features. 3 Empty passenger-seat sensor A sensor in the passenger seat detects whether there's someone in the passenger seat when a frontal collision takes place, If not, the pas- senger-side airbag will not inflate. saving the cost of one airbag. O Upper backrest seat adjust- ment The 7-series is the first car to have separate seatback adjustment on the upper half of the front seat- backs. This provides more upper back support and comfon. <3 Navigation system While other manufaciurers have developed in-car navigation sys- tems, BMW's responds to voice input ( street and city destination) and will guide the driver to the des- “FRYLORMOTIVE™ B.C.A.A.- A.RA, - tination with voice commands. The driver doesn't have to take his eyes off the road. The first practical use of this will be in Germany this fall. 3 Automatic trunklid closer An idea borrowed from American manufacturers, the 740i’s trunk lid will catch and latch itself automatically with only a gentle push. This prevents having to slam the trunk lid. In addition, the trunk- lid will open itself by 90 degrees after it has been untocked. 3 Audible frost warning In combination with an outside temperature reading gauge, a frost sensor detects slippery patches on the road ahead and sounds an audi- ble waming before the car reaches the frost patch. 2) All doors unlock in a crash In the event of a collision, all locked doors will unlock automati- cally, the fuel pump will shut itself off to help prevent the possibility of a fice, and the interior lights will come on. In some models, the haz- ard flashers will begin to flash. J Air filters clean air Air filters are installed in the ventilation system to keep out smoggy. dirty air.
