If the distance to a detected object is less
than approximately 25 cm, approximately
10 in, a continuous tone sounds.
With PDC at the front: if there are simulta-
neously objects in front of and behind the
vehicle, an alternating continuous tone
sounds.
The acoustic signal is switched off when se-
lector lever position P is engaged on the
Steptronic transmission.
Volume control
It is possible to set the ratio between the
volume of the PDC acoustic signal and the
volume of the entertainment source play-
back.
