Technology for driving comfort and safety Park Distance Control PDC* 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 vehicle. To measure the distance, there are four ultrasonic sensors in either bumper. An acoustic warning sounds when the sensors at the front* and at the two rear corners are less than approx. 24 in/60 cm away from the object and the middle rear sensors are approx. 5 ft/ 1.50 m away from it. 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; otherwise, physical circumstances may lead to the system warning being issued too late.< Switching on automatically With the engine running or the ignition switched on, the system is activated after approx. one second when you shift into reverse or move the automatic transmission selector lever to position R. Wait this short period before driving. Switching off automatically After approx. 55 yd/50 m of driving or above approx. 20 mph/approx. 30 km/h, the system switches off and the LED goes out. Switching on manually* Press the button; the LED lights up. Switching off manually* Press the button again; the LED goes out. Signal tones When nearing an object, its position is indicated correspondingly by an interval tone. For example, if an object is detected behind the vehicle, the signal tone sounds from the rear. As the distance 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 continuous tone sounds. An interval tone is interrupted after approx. 3seconds > If you remain in front of an object that has been detected by only one of the corner sensors > If you are driving parallel to a wall. Malfunction The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster comes on. PDC is malfunctioning. 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 1 ft/30 cm. <strong>Manual</strong> operation* The LED above the button also flashes. 79 Reference Mobility Driving tips Controls At a glance
