Vehicles￿that￿do￿not￿have￿the￿Parking￿Maneuver￿Assistant￿but￿do￿have￿the￿Park￿Distance￿Control￿have
a￿separate￿control￿unit,￿which￿is￿recognized￿as￿the￿PMA￿control￿unit￿by￿diagnosis￿and￿is￿also￿referred
to￿by￿this￿name￿in￿the￿bus￿diagram.￿In￿other￿words,￿there￿is￿no￿longer￿a￿difference￿in￿the￿naming￿of￿the
PDC￿and￿PMA￿control￿unit￿(there￿are￿however￿differences￿in￿the￿hardware￿design￿between￿the￿control

Automatic￿activation￿of￿the￿Park￿Distance￿Control￿not￿only￿with￿drive￿position￿"R"￿engaged,￿but￿also
with￿"D"￿engaged,￿has￿been￿implemented￿in￿the￿G12.
Auto￿PDC￿is￿also￿activated￿automatically￿if￿the￿vehicle￿is￿approaching￿an￿object￿at￿a￿speed￿below
approximately￿5 km/h.
Use￿case:
The￿driver￿is￿driving￿along￿a￿road￿at￿approximately￿50 km/h￿and￿after￿some￿time￿approaches￿an
entrance￿gate￿on￿the￿right-hand￿side￿of￿the￿road.￿The￿entrance￿gate￿is￿2.80 m￿wide￿and￿there￿is￿a￿wall
on￿each￿side￿of￿it.￿The￿vehicle￿turns￿right￿to￿drive￿into￿the￿entrance￿gate.￿Let￿us￿assume￿that￿in￿this
example￿space￿is￿very￿restricted￿and￿given￿the￿difficult￿curve￿radius￿the￿vehicle￿is￿approaching￿the￿left-
hand￿wall￿of￿the￿entrance￿gate￿at￿a￿distance￿of￿less￿than￿approximately￿0.6 m.￿In￿this￿case,￿the￿Park
Distance￿Control￿would￿be￿activated￿automatically,￿if￿on￿approaching￿the￿wall￿the￿speed￿of￿the￿vehicle
does￿not￿exceed￿approximately￿4 km/h.
