Tips and troubleshooting
Please read the introductory information and
heed the Warnings and Notice
179.
If the system is not responding as expected
Possible causes:
— The sensors are dirty → page 310, Exterior care
and cleaning. The sensors may not work properly
if blocked by dirt and snow or residue from abra-
sive cleaning agents or coatings.
— The conditions for automatic PDC activation are
not met → page 180, Automatic PDC activation
when driving forward (depending on equipment).
— The sensors have been damaged or misaligned in
low speed impacts or parking maneuvers. Dam-
aged or misaligned sensors cannot accurately de-
tect or report objects that might be within range
of the PDC system.
— The system function is impaired by an aftermar-
ket component such as a bicycle rack.
— A sensor area has been repainted or structural
modifications have been made.
— The sensors may not detect people and objects
due to noise interference from rough roads, cob-
blestones, other vehicles, and the surrounding
area.
If there is no sensor visibility, an error message, or
the system switches itself off
If an ultrasonic sensor malfunctions, the corre-
sponding sensor area is switched off and cannot be
reactivated until the malfunction is corrected.
If you hear a long beep of about 3 seconds when you
first turn PDC on or the indicator light in the
ton starts blinking, there is a malfunction in the Park
Distance Control system.
A message may also appear in the instrument cluster
display, depending on equipment.
Possible solutions
— Switch the system off temporarily.
— Check whether any of the causes described in this
section apply.
— Clean the sensors or remove stickers or accesso-
ries from the sensors and cameras → page 310,
Exterior care and cleaning.
