ing an object behind or, with the appropriate
PDC equipment, also in front of your vehicle is

▷

Visual display.
General information
Measurements are made by ultrasound sen‐
sors in the bumpers.
The range, depending on the obstacle and en‐
vironmental conditions, is approx. 6 ft/2 m.
An acoustic warning is first given:
▷
By the front sensors and the two rear cor‐
ner sensors at approx. 24 in/60 cm.
▷
By the rear middle sensors at approx.
5 ft/1.50 m.
To ensure full operability:
▷
Do not cover sensors, e.g., by stickers, bi‐
cycle racks and the like.
▷
Keep the sensors clean and free of ice.
▷
When 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 for the
driving process.
Because of technical system limits, the system
cannot independently react appropriately in all
traffic situations.
Continuously and attentively monitor the driv‐
ing process, the area surrounding the vehicle
and the traffic situation, and actively intervene
when required, otherwise, there is a risk of an
accident.◀
Avoid driving quickly with PDC
Avoid approaching an object quickly.
Avoid driving away quickly while PDC is not yet
active.
For technical reasons, the system may other‐
wise be too late in issuing a warning.◀
