Audible warning signals An intermittent sound indicates position of an
object as the vehicle approaches it. For in‐
stance, if an object is identified to the rear left of the vehicle, the warning signal sounds from
the rear left loudspeaker.
The shorter the distance to an object be‐
comes, the shorter the intervals become.
If the distance to a detected object is less than
approximately 25 cm, 10 in, a continuous tone
sounds.
With front PDC: if there are objects in front of
and behind the vehicle, an alternating continu‐
ous tone sounds.
Volume control It is possible to set the ratio between the vol‐
ume of the PDC acoustic signal and the vol‐

signal is given.
A display is superimposed as soon as PDC is
activated.
Recording range of sensors is shown in col‐
