PDC Park Distance Control*

The concept

The PDC assists you with maneuvering in tight

parking spaces. Acoustic signals and a visual

indicator

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. The sensors at the front

* and at

the two rear corners have a range of approx.

24 in/60 cm; the rear middle sensors have

approx. 5 ft/1.50 m.

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, as

otherwise 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.

Manual operation*

Press the button, the LED lights up.

Deactivating manual mode

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 roughly 20 mph or 30 km/h;

the LED goes out. You can reactivate the sys-

tem manually 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. A message appears on the

Control Display. 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.

Manual mode

The LED above the button flashes in addition.

PDC with optical warning

You can also have the system show distances

to objects on the Control Display. The contours

of distant objects are shown on the Control Dis-

play even before the acoustic signal sounds.

The setting is stored for the remote control cur-

rently in use.
