PDC Park Distance Control
The concept
PDC supports you when parking. Objects that
you are approaching slowly in front of or beā
hind your vehicle are indicated with:
ā· Signal tones.
ā· Visual display.
General information
Measurements are made by ultrasound senā
sors in the bumpers.
The range, depending on the environment, is
approx. 6 ft/2 m.
An acoustic warning is first given:
ā· By the front middle sensors and the two
corner sensors at approx. 24 in/60 cm.
ā· By the rear middle sensors at approx.
5 ft/1.50 m.
To ensure full operability:
ā· Do not cover sensors, e.g., by stickers, biā
cycle racks and the like.
ā· Keep the sensors clean and free of ice.
ā· When using high-pressure washers, do not
spray the sensors for long periods and
maintain a distance of at least 12 in/30 cm.
Hints
Personal responsibility
Even an active system does not relieve
the driver from personal responsibility for the
driving process.
Because of technical system limits, the system
cannot independently react appropriately in all
traffic situations.
Continuously and attentively monitor the drivā
ing process, the area surrounding the vehicle
and the traffic situation, and actively intervene
when required, otherwise, there is a risk of an
accident.ā
Avoid driving quickly with PDC
Avoid approaching an object quickly.
Avoid driving away quickly while PDC is not yet
active.
For technical reasons, the system may otherā
wise be too late in issuing a warning.ā
