Technology for comfort, convenience and
safety
PDC Park Distance Control*
Deactivating manual mode
Press the button again; the LED goes out.
The concept
The system is automatically deactivated once
the vehicle travels approx. 165 ft/50 m or
exceeds a speed of roughly 20 mph/30 km/h;
the LED goes out. You can reactivate the sys-
tem manually as needed.
The PDC assists you when you are parking.
Audible signals and an optical display* indicate
that you are approaching an object in front of or
behind your vehicle. To measure the distance,
there are four ultrasonic sensors in each
bumper. The sensors at the front and at the two
rear corners have a range of approx. 24 in/
Signal tones
An intermittent signal indicates the distance of
the vehicle from an object being approached.
Thus, an object detected to the left rear of the
vehicle will be indicated by a signal tone from
the left rear speaker, etc. As the distance
between vehicle and object decreases, the
intervals between the tones become shorter.
The signal tone becomes continuous once the
distance to the nearest object falls to below
roughly 1 ft/30 cm.
60
cm; the rear middle sensors have approx.
5
ft/1.50 m.
PDC is a parking aid that can indicate
objects when they are approached
slowly, as is usually the case when parking.
Avoid approaching an object at high speed, as
otherwise the physical circumstances would
mean that the system warning was too late.<
Automatic mode
The warning signal is canceled after approx.
3 seconds if you are moving parallel to a wall.
In ignition key position 2, the system automati-
cally assumes operational status after approx.
1
second each time you shift into reverse or
Malfunction
move the selector-lever to position R.
The LED in the button flashes and a message
appears on the Control Display. PDC is mal-
functioning. Have the system checked.
Wait this short period before driving. The sys-
tem switches off when you disengage the
reverse gear.
As a preventive measure, keep the sensors
clean and free of ice or snow in order to ensure
that they will continue to operate effectively.
Manual mode
PDC with visual warning*
You also enjoy the option of having the system
show the approach to an object on the Control
Display. The Control Display also indicates the
presence of objects before they are close
enough to trigger a signal tone.
Control Center, for principle details, refer to
page 16.
Press the button; the LED lights up.
