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 monitoring

range of the two corner sensors ex-

tends to approx. 2 feet (60 cm) behind

the bumper. The two center sensors

cover a distance of approx. 4.9 feet

(1.50 meters).

The system starts to operate automati-

cally about one second after you se-

lect reverse with the ignition key in po-

sition 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 warning tone sounds if the

distance to a recognized object is less

than 1 foot (30 cm).

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 will be indicated

by a continuous high-pitched tone

when the system is activated the first

time. Please have your BMW center

resolve the problem.

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 effec-

tively.

Do not apply high-pressure spray to the

sensors for a prolonged period of time.

Maintain an adequate distance of more

than approx. 4 inches (10 cm).<
