Visual warning
The approach of the vehicle to an object is
shown on the Control Display. Objects that are
farther away are already displayed on the Control
Display before a signal sounds.
The display appears as soon as PDC is activated.
The range of the sensors is represented in the
colors green, yellow and red when obstacles are
detected.
Pathway lines are faded in for better estimation
of the required space.
When the image of the rearview camera is dis‐
played, the switch can be made to PDC or to a
different view with obstacle markings as needed:
1. Press the Controller to the left, if needed.
2. For instance "Park. sensors only"
Cross traffic warning, refer to page 202 : de‐
pending on the equipment, it is warned in the
PDC display against vehicles approaching in the

function, Active PDC
Concept
The emergency braking function of PDC initiates
an emergency braking in case of acute risk of
collision.
General information
This function may not be available. Contact your
authorized dealer’s service center or another
qualified service center as to whether this addi‐
tional function is currently in your vehicle or when
it can be installed in your vehicle in the future.
Due to system limits, a collision cannot be pre‐
vented under all circumstances.
The function is available below walking speed
when driving in reverse or rolling backward.
A press of the accelerator pedal interrupts the
braking intervention.
After emergency braking to a stop, further creep‐
ing toward an obstacle is possible. To creep to‐
ward the obstacle, lightly press the accelerator
pedal and release it again.
If the accelerator pedal is heavily depressed, the
vehicle drives off as usual. Manual braking is pos‐
sible at any time.
The system uses the ultrasound sensors of PDC
and parking assistant.

The system cannot serve as a substitute for the

tively intervene where appropriate.
