emitted alternately from the front and the rear.
If the vehicle moves away from the object, the warning tone will be cancelled when the distance increases by
more than 10 centimetres.
Effective range for acoustic warnings:
•
approx. 60 centimetres for the ultrasonic sensors at the two corners of the front bumper
•
approx. 70 centimetres for the two middle ultrasonic sensors in the front bumper
•
approx. 60 centimetres for the ultrasonic sensors at the two corners of the rear bumper
•
approx. 150 centimetres for the two middle ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper
Optical warning with multimedia platform or multi audio system controller or Car Communication Computer
The visual PDC warnings are given in the Central Information Display (CID). This is subject to the PDC display in
the CID being active.
The visual warnings are given earlier than the acoustic warnings.
The effective range is approx. 2.5 metres at the front and rear.
The graphic display is shown on the CID. The PDC control unit supplies the distance between the ultrasonic
sensor and the object detected via the K-CAN.
The PDC display on the CID is an overhead view of the vehicle with the effective range of the ultrasonic sensors.
The distance to objects detected is shown in the colours of traffic lights:
•
Distance between 200 (250) and 101 centimetres: green
•
Distance between 100 an 51 centimetres: yellow
•
Distance less than 50 centimetres: Red
The PDC display appears as soon as the PDC is switched on (manually or automatically). The PDC display
overrides other displays in the CID. When the PDC is switched off again, the previous display automatically
appears again in the Central Information Display.
Check Control
If a fault should develop in the PDC, the function LED in the PDC button will flash with a frequency of 2 Hz.
In this situation, PDC cannot be switched on.
At the same time, a Check-Control message is displayed in the following form
•
Symbol in the LCD display in the instrument cluster
•
The following text appears in the status line of the Central Information Display:
"PDC failure!"
In the menu "BMW Service", the following text can be called up in the submenu "Check-Control messages":
"Park Distance Control
No acoustic warning available for Park Distance Control PDC.
Have the problem checked by BMW Service as soon as possible."
If a fault memory entry is recorded, the kilometre reading and the outside temperature are recorded along with
the type of fault.
System limits
Important: The driver remains responsible at all times
PDC is not a substitute for the driver's personal judgement with respect to obstacles.
The ultrasonic sensors also have a "blind spot". In this blind spot, objects can no longer be detected.
