Technology for comfort, convenience and
safety
PDC Park Distance Control*
After driving approx. 165 ft/50 m or at over
approx. 20 mph/30 km/h, the system switches
off and the LED goes out. You can reactivate the
system manually as needed.
The concept
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,
four ultrasonic sensors are provided in each
bumper. The range of these sensors is approx.
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 below
roughly 1 ft/30 cm.
6
ft/2 m. However, an acoustic warning begins
to sound for the sensors at the front and at the
two rear corners at approx. 24 in/60 cm, and for
the center rear sensors at 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; oth-
erwise, the system may sound the warning of
physical obstacles too late.<
An intermittent tone is interrupted after approx.
3
seconds:
>
if you remain in front of an object that was
only detected by one of the corner sensors
Automatically activating
>
if you drive parallel to a wall
The system is activated approx. 1 second after
you engage the transmission position R with
the engine running or the ignition switched on.
Malfunction
The LED in the button flashes and a message
appears on the Info Display. PDC has failed.
Have the system checked.
Wait this short period before proceeding.
Manual activation
To prevent this problem, keep the sensors
clean and free of ice or snow in order to ensure
that they will continue to operate effectively.
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 sen-
sors.
PDC with visual warning
You can also have the system show distances
to objects on the Control Display. Objects that
are farther away are displayed there before a
signal tone begins to sound.
Press the button, the LED lights up.
Manual deactivation
iDrive, for principle details, refer to page 16.
Press the button again; the LED goes out.
