The concept

The PDC assists you when you back

into a parking space. A signal warns

you of the distance to an obstacle.

To do this, four ultrasonic sensors in

the rear bumper measure the distance

to the nearest object. The range for the

sensors located at both rear corners

ends approx. 2 ft. (60 cm) behind

the bumpers. The range for the two

middle sensors is approx. 4.9 feet

(1.50 meters).

The system is activated automatically

about one second after you engage

reverse with the ignition key in

position 2. PDC is deactivated when

you shift back out of reverse.

Acoustic signals

The distance to the nearest object is

indicated by a tone sounding at various

intervals. As the distance between

vehicle and object decreases, the inter-

vals between the tones become

shorter. A continuous tone indicates the

presence of an object less than 1 ft.

(30 cm) away.

The warning signal is interrupted after

approx. three seconds if the distance to

the obstacle remains constant during

this time (if you are moving parallel to

a wall, for instance).

System malfunctions will be indicated

by a continuous high-pitched tone

when the system is activated the first

time. Please refer the problem to your

BMW center.

The PDC does not remove the

driver's personal responsibility for

evaluating the distance between the

vehicle and any obstacles. Even when

sensors are involved, there is a blind

spot in which objects cannot be

detected. This applies especially in

those cases where the system

approaches the physical limits of ultra-

sonic measurement, as occurs with tow

bars and trailer couplings, and in the

vicinity of thin and painted objects.

Certain sources of sound, such as a

loud radio, could drown out the PDC

signal tone.<

Keep the sensors clean and free

of ice or snow in order to ensure

that they continue to operate effec-

tively.

Do not apply high pressure spray to the

sensors for a prolonged period of time.

Always maintain a distance of more

than 4 in (10 cm).<
