PDC Park Distance Control
The concept PDC is a support when parking. When you
slowly approach an object in the rear - or also
in the front of the vehicle if the feature is availaâ
ble - then the object is reported through:âˇSignal tones.âˇVisual display.
General information
Ultrasound sensors in the bumpers measure
the distances from objects.
The maneuvering range, depending on the obâ
stacle and environmental conditions, is approx.
6 ft/2 m.
An acoustic warning is first given:
âˇBy the front sensors and the two rear corâ
ner sensors at approx. 24 in/60 cm.âˇBy the rear middle sensors at approx.
5 ft/1.50 m.
To ensure full functionality:
âˇDo not cover sensors, e.g., with stickers,
bicycle racks and the like.âˇKeep the sensors clean and free of ice.âˇWhen using high-pressure washers, do not
spray the sensors for long periods and
maintain a distance of at least 12 in/30 cm.Hints
Personal responsibility
Even an active system does not relieve
the driver from personal responsibility while
driving.
Technically the system has its limits, it cannot
independently react to all traffic situations.
Monitor your driving, be on the alert, observe
the vehicle surroundings and other traffic and
react when needed - risk of accident.â
Avoid driving fast with PDC
Avoid approaching an object too fast.
Avoid driving off fast while PDC is not yet acâ
tive.
For technical reasons, the system may otherâ
wise be too late in issuing a warning.â

Display
Signal tones When approaching an object, an intermittent
sound indicates the position of the object. E. g.
if an object is detected to the left rear of the
vehicle, a signal tone sounds from the left rear
speaker.
The shorter the distance to the object, the
shorter the intervals.
If the distance to a detected object is less than
approx. 10 in/25 cm, a continuous tone is
sounded.
With front PDC: if objects are located both in
front of and behind the vehicle, an alternating
continuous signal is sounded.
An interval tone is interrupted with the approâ
priate equipment after about 3 seconds:
âˇIf the vehicle stops in front of an object that
is detected by only one of the corner senâ
sors.âˇIf moving parallel to a wall.
The signal tone is switched off:
âˇWhen the vehicle moves away from an obâ
ject by more than approx. 4 in/10 cm.âˇWhen selector lever position P is engaged
on vehicles with Steptronic transmission.
Volume
The volume of the PDC signal tone can be adâ
justed similar to the sound and volume setâ
tings of the radio.
Settings are stored for the profile currently in
use.
Visual warning
The approach of the vehicle to an object can
be shown on the Control Display. Objects that
are farther away are already displayed on the
Control 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 disâ
played, the reel can be made to PDC:

The objects displayed on the Control Display
under certain circumstances are closer than
they appear. Do not estimate the distance from
the objects on the display.
Side View The concept Side View provides an early look at cross traffic
at blind driveways and intersections. Road
users concealed by obstacles to the left and
right of the vehicle can only be detected relaâ
tively late from the driver's seat. To improve
visibility, two cameras in the front of the vehiâ
cle record the traffic situation on each side.
Hints
The images from both cameras are shown siâ
multaneously on the Control Display.
Check the traffic situation as well

Parking assistant The concept
This system assists the driver in parking paralâ
lel to the road.
Ultrasound sensors measure parking spaces
on both sides of the vehicle.
Manual transmission:
Steptronic transmission:
The parking assistant calculates the best posâ
sible parking line and during the parking proceâ
dure takes control of steering, the acceleration
and braking and if needed changes the gears.
Hold down the parking assistant button for the
duration of the parking procedure. At the end
of the parking procedure, the P selector lever
position is set.
When parking, also take note of the visual and
acoustic information and instructions issued
by the PDC, the parking assistant and the rearâ
view camera and react accordingly.
A component of the parking assistant is the
PDC Park Distance Control, refer to page 148.
Hints Personal responsibility
Even an active system does not relieve
the driver from personal responsibility while
driving.
Technically the system has its limits, it cannot
independently react to all traffic situations.
Monitor your driving, be on the alert, observe
the vehicle surroundings and other traffic and
react when needed - risk of accident.â
Changes to the parking space
Changes to the parking space after it was
measured are not taken into account by the
system.
Therefore, always be alert and ready to interâ
vene; otherwise, there is the risk of an acciâ
dent.â
Transporting cargo
Cargo that extends beyond the perimeter
of the vehicle is not taken into account by the
system during the parking procedure.
Therefore, always be alert and ready to interâ
vene; otherwise, there is the risk of an acciâ
dent.â
Curbs
The parking assistant may steer the vehiâ
cle over or onto curb if need be.Seite 156ControlsDriving comfort156
