Warning
Acoustic signals
An intermittent sound indicates that the vehi‐
cle is approaching an object. For instance, if an
object is identified to the rear left of the vehi‐
cle, the acoustic signal is output from the rear
left loudspeaker.
The shorter the distance to an object be‐
comes, the shorter the intervals become.
If the distance to a detected object is less than
approximately 25 cm, 10 in, a continuous tone
sounds.
With front PDC: if there are simultaneously ob‐
jects in front of and behind the vehicle, an al‐
ternating continuous tone sounds.
Volume control
It is possible to set the ratio between the vol‐
ume of the PDC acoustic signal and the vol‐
ume 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.

If the rear-view camera image is displayed, it is
possible to change over to PDC:
