Volume control
It is possible to set the ratio between the volume
of the PDC acoustic signal and the volume of the
entertainment source playback.
Via iDrive:
1. "My Vehicle"
2. "iDrive settings"
3. "Sound"
4. "Volume settings"
5. "PDC"
6. Set the desired value.
The setting is saved for the currently used driver
profile.
Visual warning
The approach of the vehicle to an object is
shown on the Control Display. Objects that are
further away are already displayed before an
acoustic signal is given.
The display appears as soon as PDC is activated.
The recording range of the sensors is shown in
green, yellow and red.
Driving path lines are displayed for better estima‐
tion of the space required.
If the rearview camera image is shown, it is pos‐
sible to change over to PDC or, if required, to an‐
other view with obstacle markings:
"Rear view camera"
Crossing traffic warning, see page 251: depend‐
ing on equipment, the PDC display also warns
about vehicles approaching from the sides at the
front and rear.

Driver Assistance Systems
Online Edition for Part no. 01402989787 - II/18
With Park Assistant: emergency
braking function, Active PDC
Principle
The emergency brake function of PDC initiates
emergency braking in the event of imminent col‐
lision danger.
General
Due to the system limits, a collision cannot be
prevented under all circumstances.
The function is available at speeds below walking
speed when driving or rolling in reverse.
Pressing the accelerator pedal interrupts the
braking intervention.
After emergency braking to a stop, it is possible
to continue a slow approach to the obstacle. To
approach, lightly depress the accelerator.
If the accelerator is depressed more firmly, the
vehicle pulls away as normal. Manual braking is
possible at any time.
The system uses the ultrasonic sensors of PDC
and Park Assistant.
Safety note
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa‐
tion correctly. There is a danger of accidents.
Adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions.
Additionally, look directly to check the traffic sit‐
uation and the area around the vehicle and in‐
tervene actively in the corresponding situations.
