PDC Park Distance Control
Principle
Park Distance Control (PDC) helps with parking.
Acoustic and visual warnings signal obstacles in
front of or behind the vehicle.
Depending on the equipment version: obstacles
that are detected by the side ultrasonic sensors
may also be reported by the side protection.
General information
The range of the system, depending on obsta‐
cles and environmental conditions, is approx.
6 ft/2 m.
An acoustic warning sounds in case of an im‐
pending collision at a distance to the object of
approx. 27 in/70 cm.
For objects behind the vehicle, the acoustic
warning is already issued at a distance to the ob‐
ject of approx. 5 ft/1.50 m.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver's personal judgment in assessing the
traffic situation. Based on the limits of the sys‐
tem, it cannot independently react to all traffic
situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic
closely and actively intervene where appropri‐
ate.
