The concept
The distance from an object is indicated

and object decreases, the intervals
between the tones become shorter.

Even when sensors are involved, there
is a blind spot in which objects cannot

ultrasonic measurement, as occurs with
tow bars and trailer couplings, and in
the vicinity of thin or wedge-shaped
objects. It is also possible that low
objects already displayed, such as curb
edges, may come into the blind spot of
the sensors before a continuous signal
sounds or that higher, protruding
objects, such as ledges, will not be
detected.
The warning signal is canceled after
approx. 3 seconds if you are moving
parallel to a wall.

EBV controls the brake system's appli-
cation pressure at the rear wheels to
ensure stable deceleration.

When the brake pedal is depressed
rapidly, this system automatically gen-
erates a maximum boost of braking
force and thus aids in keeping braking
distances as short as possible during
full braking. This system exploits all of
the benefits provided by ABS.
Loud sources of sound, inside and out-
if a malfunction occurs while the PDC side the vehicle, could drown out the

Switch the system off and have the
cause of the malfunction corrected by

ter.
Keep the sensors clean and free
of ice or snow in order to ensure
that they will continue to operate effec-
tively.
Do not reduce the pressure on the
brake pedal for the duration of the
brake application. DBC is deactivated
when you release the brake pedal.
When using high-pressure washers, do
not spray sensors for long periods and
keep the sprayer at least 4 in/10 cm
away from the sensors.<
