Index Data Technology Repairs Car care Controls Overview

The PDC assists you when you are park-

ing. A signal warns you of the real dis-

tance to an obstacle. To do this, four

ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper

measure the distance to the nearest ob-

ject. The range for the sensors at the two

rear corners ends approx. 2 feet (60 cm)

from the bumper. The range for the

two center sensors is approx. 4.9 feet

(1.50 meters) wide.

The system starts to operate automati-

cally about one second after you select

"Reverse" with the ignition key in posi-

tion 2. PDC is deactivated when you shift

back out of reverse.

Acoustical signals

The distance to the nearest object is in-

dicated by a tone sounding at various

intervals. As the distance between vehi-

cle and object decreases, the intervals

between the tones become shorter.

A continuous tone indicates the pres-

ence of an object less than approx.

1 foot (30 cm) away.

The warning signal is canceled 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 are 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 de-

tected. This applies especially in those

cases where the system approaches

the physical limits of ultrasonic mea-

surement, 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 effectively.

Do not apply high pressure spray to the

sensors for a prolonged period of time.

Maintain a distance of more than

4 inches (10 cm).<
