Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Visual warnings
The visual PDC warnings are given in the Central Information Display (CID). This is subject to the display in the CID being active.
The visual warnings are given earlier than the acoustic warnings.
The effective range is approx. 2 metres at the front and approx. 2.5 metres at the rear.
The graphic display is shown on the CID. The PDC control unit supplies the distance between the ultrasonic sensor and the object detected via the K-CAN.
The display on the CID is an overhead view of the vehicle with the effective ranges of the ultrasonic sensors.
The distance to objects detected is shown in the colors of traffic lights:
- Distance down to 100 centimeters: green
- Distance between 100 an 50 centimeters: yellow
- Distance less than 50 centimeters: red
The display appears as soon as the PDC is switched on (manually or automatically). The display overrides other displays in the CID. When the PDC is switched off again, the previous display automatically appears again in the Central Information Display.
