Important: Measuring range of ultrasonic sensors
The measuring range of the ultrasonic sensors is between approx. 25 centimetres and a maximum of
approx. 250 centimetres. A continuous warning tone sounds when the distance is less than about
25 centimetres.
Dirty sensors, moisture, ice and snow can also cause the continuous warning tone to sound.
Note: Cleaning the ultrasonic sensors
To make sure the system remains fully operational, keep the ultrasonic sensors clean and free from ice. Do
not clean by spraying high-pressure washers directly at the ultrasonic sensors. When cleaning, always
maintain a minimum distance of at least 10 centimetres.
Note: Make sure the decoupling element on ultrasonic sensor is correctly located.
The respective decoupling element must be correctly located. Otherwise, transmission and reception will be
impaired.

PDC button
> E70, E87, E90, E91, E92, E93
The PDC button is integrated in the centre console switch cluster (no control unit). The signal from the PDC
button is read by the IHKA (or IHKR/IHR control unit) control unit. In turn, the IHKA control unit sends a signal on
the K-CAN.
The PDC button is used to manually switch the Park Distance Control system on and off. When the PDC is
switched on, the function LED in the PDC button lights up.
If a fault develops in the PDC, the function LED in the PDC button flashes.

PDC control unit
The PDC control unit controls the ultrasonic sensors for transmitting ultrasonic pulses. The PDC control unit also
receives the digital signals from the individual ultrasonic sensors. From the individual digital signals, the PDC
control unit calculates the minimum distance between the ultrasonic sensor and the object.
When an object is detected, an acoustic warning and a visual warning are given.
