The principle
PDC assists you when manoeuvring
into a parking space. Audible warning
signals indicate when the car is
approaching an obstacle. Four ultra-
sonic sensors in the front and four in
the rear bumper measure the distance
from the nearest object. The range of
the sensors at the front of the car and at
the two rear corners ends approx.
60 cm (approx. 2 ft) away from the
bumper. The centre sensors at the rear
have a range of approx. 1.50 m (approx.
5 ft).
If the car is towing a trailer, the rear
sensors clearly cannot supply sensible
signals and therefore remain switched
off.
Automatic function
In ignition key position 2, the system is
activated automatically after approx. 1
second when reverse gear is selected
or the automatic transmission selector
lever moved to R.
Switching on manually
Press the button, the indicator light
comes on.
After a distance of approx. 50 m
(approx. 164 ft) has been covered or a
speed of approx. 30 km/h (approx.
20 mph) is exceeded, the system is de-
activated and the indicator light goes
out. Switch the system on again as
necessary.
Switching off manually
Press the button again.

Audible warning signals
The distance from an obstruction is
indicated by a higher intermittent
audible signal for the front end, and a
lower-pitched intermittent audible
signal for the rear end. The closer the
car approaches the obstruction, the
more rapid the sequence of signals.
When the distance is less than 30 cm
(approx. 12 in), the signal becomes
continuous.
The signal is interrupted after approx.
3 seconds if you are driving parallel to a
wall.
The system has developed a malfunc-
tion if:
The indicator light flashes and a contin-
uous tone is emitted briefly
>
When you switch on PDC at the
button
>
When you engage reverse or selector
lever position R for the first time after
switching on the ignition
>
If the malfunction occurs while PDC
is active.
Switch off the system and have the
cause of the malfunction rectified by
BMW Service.
