Park Distance Control
The Park Distance Control PDC (option 508) assists the driver when maneuvering in and out of parking spaces. Acoustic signals and a visual display indicate the current distance to an obstacle. The Park Distance Control of the F10 is similar to the F01/F02/F07 and uses the measured data from four ultrasonic sensors on both the front and rear bumper.
PDC is activated when reverse is engaged or the PDC button is pressed. The PDC button is located next to the electronic gear selector/switch.
The audible and visual distance warnings are the results of distance measurements and are provided to the driver via the speaker system and by displays in the CID respectively.
NOTE:
The PDC is not a substitute for the driver's assessment of the traffic situation. The driver must always obtain a direct view of the situation all round the vehicle in order to assess the traffic situation. Failure to exercise due diligence in this way could result in an accident risk on account of road users or objects not located within the detection range of the PDC. Loud sounds outside and inside the car can render the PDC signal inaudible.
