Technology for comfort, convenience and

safety

PDC Park Distance Control*

The concept

PDC provides extra safety and convenience

during parking maneuvers. Signal tones indi-

cate the current distance to an object behind or

in front of your vehicle. Four ultrasonic sensors

in both the bumpers monitor the distance to the

nearest object.

The front and rear sensors on the corners have

a range of approx. 2 ft/60 cm. The two rear mid-

dle sensors have a range of approx. 5 ft/1.50 m

and the two front middle sensors of approx.

2.6 ft/80 cm.

PDC is a parking aid that can indicate

objects when they are approached

slowly, as is usually the case when parking.

Avoid approaching objects too fast, otherwise

the system may give warning of physical obsta-

cles too late.<

If you tow a trailer, the rear sensors cannot take

any practical measurements. Therefore, they

do not switch on.

Automatic mode

In ignition key position 2, the system is auto-

matically activated after approx. one second

each time you shift into reverse or move the

selector-lever into position R. Wait for this short

time span before moving. The system switches

off when you shift out of reverse.

You can have a signal tone programmed

into the system to verify that the PDC is

active.<

Manual mode

In ignition key position 2, press the button; the

indicator lamp lights up.

Deactivating manual mode

Press the button again; the indicator lamp goes

out.

After driving a distance of more than approx.

160 ft/50 m or exceeding a speed of approx.

20 mph/30 km/h, the system switches off and

the indicator lamp goes out. You can reactivate

the system manually as needed.

Signal tones

The distance to an object behind the vehicle is

signaled, in accordance with the position, by an

intermittent tone from a speaker in the rear.

The distance to an object in front of the vehicle

is signaled by an intermittent tone from a loud-

speaker beneath the instrument cluster.

As the distance between vehicle and object

decreases, the intervals between the tones

become shorter. The signal tone becomes con-

tinuous once the distance to the nearest object

falls to below roughly 1 ft/30 cm.

The signal tone is canceled after approx. 3 sec-

onds when the distance to an object remains

constant during this time, if you are moving par-

allel to a wall, for instance.
