Technology for driving comfort and safety

PDC Park Distance Control*

The concept

The PDC assists you with maneuvering in tight

parking spaces. Acoustic signals warn you of

the presence of an object in front of

* or behind

your car. To measure the distance, there are

four ultrasonic sensors in each bumper.

An acoustic warning sounds once an object is

closer than approx. 2 ft/60 cm to the front sen-

sors* or both rear corner sensors, or closer than

approx. 5 ft/1.50 m to the rear center sensors.

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 physical circumstances may lead to the

system warning being issued too late.<

Automatic mode

With the engine running or the ignition switched

on, the system is activated automatically after

approx. 1 second when you engage reverse

gear or move the automatic transmission selec-

tor lever to position R. Wait this short period

before driving.

Switching on manually

Press the button, the LED lights up.

Switching off manually

Press the button again; the LED goes out.

The system is automatically deactivated once

the vehicle travels approx. 165 ft/50 m or

exceeds a speed of approx. 20 mph or 30 km/h;

the LED goes out. You can reactivate the sys-

tem as needed.

Signal tones

When nearing an object, its position is indicated

correspondingly by an interval tone. For exam-

ple, the tone sounds at the rear if the system

detects an object behind the car. As the dis-

tance between vehicle and object decreases,

the intervals between the tones become

shorter. If the distance to the nearest object

falls to below roughly 1 ft/30 cm, then a contin-

uous tone sounds.

The warning signal is canceled after approx.

3 seconds, if you are moving parallel to a wall.

Malfunction

The indicator lamp in the instrument

cluster comes on. PDC is malfunc-

tioning. Have the system checked.

To avoid 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 a high-pressure cleaner, do not spray the

sensors for extended periods of time and only

from a distance of at least 4 in/10 cm.

Manual mode

The LED above the button flashes in addition.

System limitations

Even with PDC, final responsibility for

estimating the distance between the

vehicle and any obstructions always remains

with the driver. Even when sensors are pro-

vided, there is a blind spot in which objects can

no longer be detected. The system is also sub-

ject to the physical limits that apply to all forms

of ultrasonic measurement, such as those

encountered with trailer towbars and couplings,
