When a trailer is being towed, the acoustic and visual warnings for the rear bumper are deactivated.
For this to happen, the trailer must be electrically connected to the vehicle.
Problematic conditions for switching on and off
In borderline situations, PDC may give a warning even though there is no object within the effective range (reflection
from the ground, e.g. on coarse gravel).
In borderline situations, it could happen that objects that are present are not detected (no or insufficient reflection due
to geometric form).
Under the following conditions, it could happen that the PDC gives a warning, even though there is no object
within the effective range:
•
Ultrasonic sensor incorrectly located in its bracket
•
Heavy rain
•
Severe dirt contamination or icing of the ultrasonic sensors
•
Ultrasonic sensors covered in snow
•
Echo pulses caused by ground, e.g. extremely coarse road surface or high grass
•
Very smooth walls in large, enclosed, rectangular spaces, e.g. in underground car parks (interference from
earlier, reflected echo impulses)
Under the following conditions, the PDC may not recognise an obstacle that is present:
•
Low objects or objects with corners and sharp edges (no reflection)
•
If you drive alongside a wall while you are parking, the acoustic warning will be deactivated so long as you
are moving parallel to the wall.
Operation
The visual warning (display) is switched on in the Central Information Display (CID) as follows:
•
"Settings (i)" menu
•
"Vehicle settings" menu
•
"PDC" menu
•
Activate "Display on"
