parking sensors MINI Paceman 2016 Owner's Manual (Mini Connected)

The exterior lighting goes out automatically af‐
ter the vehicle is switched off.
System limits
The automatic headlamp control cannot serve
as a substitute for your personal judgment of
lighting conditions.
For example, the sensors are unable to detect
fog or hazy weather. To avoid safety risks, you
should always switch on the lights manually un‐
der these conditions.

To assist in parking, the vehicle can be illumi‐
nated on one side; note the country-specific
regulations.
The roadside parking lights drain the battery.
Therefore, do not leave them on for unduly
long periods of time; otherwise, the battery
might not have enough power to start the en‐
gine.
Switching on the roadside parking light
To switch on the roadside parking light on the
left or right, press the turn indicator lever up or
down after switching off the vehicle, arrow 1.
Switching off the roadside parking light
Press the lever up or down to the resistance
point.
Daytime running lights
The daytime running lights light up in switch
position 0, 1, or 3 when the ignition is switched
on.
The exterior lighting goes out automatically af‐
ter the vehicle is switched off.
In switch position 1, the parking lights light up
after the ignition is switched off.
Activating/deactivating

ning lights is mandatory; for this reason, day‐
time running lights cannot be deactivated in
these cases.1.Switch on the ignition, refer to page 50.2.Press the button on the turn indicator lever

Park Distance Control
PDC
The concept
PDC provides support when parking in reverse.
Signal tones indicate that the vehicle is ap‐
proaching an object behind it. Measurements
are made by four ultrasound sensors in the
bumpers.
The range of these sensors is approx. 6 ft/2 m.
An acoustic warning is first given:▷By the two corner sensors at ap‐
prox. 24 in/60 cm.▷By the rear middle sensors at approx.
5 ft/1.50 m.
WARNING
Due to high speeds when PDC is acti‐
vated, the warning can be delayed due to phys‐
ical circumstances. There is risk of injuries or
risk of property damage. Avoid approaching an
object quickly. Avoid driving away quickly while
PDC is not yet active. ◀
Automatic operation
The system is activated after approx. one sec‐
ond when reverse gear or selector lever posi‐
tion R is engaged while the engine is running or
the ignition is switched on. Await this short pe‐
riod before setting the vehicle into motion.
Signal tones
The closer the vehicle is to the object, the
shorter the intervals become. If the distance to
a detected object is less than approx.
12 in/30 cm, a continuous tone is sounded.
If the distance remains constant, for example
when driving parallel to a wall, the signal tone
is stopped after approx. 3 seconds.
Volume
The signal tone volume can be adjusted.

System limits
WARNING
The system does not relieve from the per‐
sonal responsibility to correctly assess the traf‐
fic situation. There is risk of an accident. Adjust
the driving style to the traffic conditions. Watch
traffic and vehicle surroundings closely and ac‐
tively interfere in the respective situations. ◀
Malfunction The warning light lights up. PDC is mal‐
functioning or has failed. Have the sys‐
tem checked.
To ensure full functionality of the sensors, keep
the sensors clean and free of ice. When using
high-pressure washers, do not spray the sen‐
sors for long periods and maintain a distance of
at least 12 in/30 cm.Seite 90CONTROLSDriving comfort90
