Depending on equipment, the vehicle may be equipped with the Park Distance Control system (PDC).
The Park Distance Control (PDC) system can help the driver when backing up and parking.
PDC uses ultrasonic sensors in the bumpers to measure the distance between the vehicle and
objects. The system uses the time it takes for the ultrasonic waves to bounce back from the object to
calculate the distance between the vehicle and an object. PDC works only at speeds up to about 5–
10 mph (10–15 km/h).

WARNING
Park Distance Control is no substitute for careful and attentive driving. Never rely completely
on these systems for information about people and objects that might be in the way of the
vehicle and could be struck resulting in serious personal injuries.
x
The sensors have blind spots in which they cannot detect people, animals, and objects.
x
Always be careful and look around you when parking. The sensors cannot always detect
people, animals, and objects. Watch out for small children and animals in particular.
x
Certain types of clothing and the surfaces of certain objects do not reflect the ultrasonic
waves that the sensors send and receive. Such objects and persons wearing such clothing
will not be detected by PDC or will not be detected accurately.
x
Noise in the area can interfere with the signals of the Park Distance Control sensors.
Under certain circumstances, the system will not detect people and objects for this reason.
