Warning
Acoustic signals
General
An intermittent sound indicates the position of an
object accordingly as the vehicle approaches it.
For instance, if an object is identified to the rear
left of the vehicle, the acoustic signal is emitted
from the rear left loudspeaker.
The shorter the distance to an object, the shorter
the intervals become.
If the distance to a detected object is less than
approximately 25 cm, 10 in, a continuous tone
sounds.
If there are objects in front of and behind the ve‐
hicle at the same time, and they are at a distance
of less than approximately 25 cm, 10 in, an alter‐
nating continuous tone sounds.
With the vehicle at a standstill, the intermittent
sound is switched off after a short period of time.
Volume control
The PDC acoustic signal volume can be adjus‐
ted.
