Visual warning
The approach of the vehicle to an object is
shown on the Control Display. Objects that are
farther away are already displayed on the Con‐
trol Display before a signal sounds.
A display appears as soon as Park Distance
Control (PDC) is activated.
The range of the sensors is represented in the
colors green, yellow and red.
When the image of the rearview camera is dis‐
played, the switch can be made to PDC:
1. Move the Controller to the left, if needed.

Display
To protect the sides of the vehicle, obstacle
markings are displayed on the vehicle at the
sides.
▷ Color markings: warning against detected
obstacles.
▷ Gray markings, hatched area: no obstacles
were detected.
▷ No markings, black area: the area next to
the vehicle was not yet captured.
Limits of side protection
The system only displays stationary obstacles
that were previously detected by sensors while
passing them.
The system does not detect whether an obsta‐
cle moves later on. If the vehicle is stationary,
the markings are shown in black after a certain
time. The area next to the vehicle must be
newly captured.
