-
Central Information Display
The visual PDC warnings are given in the Central Information Display (CID).
In addition, information regarding a Check-Control message that may be present is shown.
-
Instrument cluster
A current Check-Control message is indicated by a symbol in the LCD display in the instrument cluster.
Moreover, the instrument cluster also provides the exterior temperature and the kilometer reading for the PDC
control unit.
Ice and frost can cause an unexpected response from the ultrasonic sensors. The response characteristics of
the ultrasonic sensors changes depending on the exterior temperature.
If a fault is stored in the fault memory, the kilometer reading and the exterior temperature are also stored.
-
DSC control unit
The DSC control unit supplies the PDC with information about the roadspeed and distance travelled.
-
Electronic transmission control
On vehicles with automatic transmission, the electronic transmission control (ESG) supplies the signal that
reverse gear is engaged.
-
Light module
On vehicles with manual transmission, the light module (LM) supplies the signal that reverse gear is engaged.
-
Car Access System
The CAS control unit supplies the PDC with the terminal status (e.g.. terminal 15).
For vehicles from 03/2004, power is supplied to the PDC control unit through terminal 30g (active) instead of
terminal 15.
-
Trailer module (AHM)
The trailer module sends a signal indicating whether or not the vehicle is towing a trailer. If a trailer is
recognised, the acoustic and visual warnings for the rear bumper are deactivated.

Acoustic warnings
The acoustic warnings are emitted by the M-ASK via the mid-range loudspeaker.
If an object is detected by 2 ultrasonic sensors, the loudspeaker closest to the object is actuated. The mid-range
loudspeaker in the left/right-hand front doors or the mid-range loudspeaker on the left/right-hand sides of the
rear shelf can be actuated.
If an object is detected by 3 ultrasonic sensors, the mid-range loudspeakers on the left and right-hand sides are
actuated together.
The smaller the distance to the object, the faster the sequence of acoustic warning tones.
A distance of less than approx. 25 centimetres is indicated by a continuous tone.
The warning tone switches off as soon as the vehicle moves away from the object.
If the vehicle is moving directly towards a wall, the acoustic warning tone will be switched off after approx.
3 seconds so that it does not distract the driver. If the vehicle continues to approach the wall, the warning will
