BMW 3: Concept, General information, Safety information
Concept
PDC is a support when parking. Objects that you are approaching slowly in front of or behind the vehicle are indicated by signal tones and a display on the Control Display.
Depending on the equipment version: obstacles at the side of the vehicle that are detected by the side ultrasonic sensors may also be reported by the side protection function.
General information
The ultrasound sensors for distance measurements are located in the bumpers and possibly on the sides of the vehicle.
The range, depending on obstacles and environmental conditions, is approx. 6 ft/2 m.
An acoustic warning sounds in case of an impending collision at a distance to the object of approx. 27 in/70 cm.
For objects behind the vehicle, the acoustic warning is already issued at a distance to the object of approx. 5 ft/1.50 m.
Safety information
Warning The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver's personal judgment in assessing the traffic conditions. Based on the limits of the system, it cannot independently react to all traffic situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively intervene where appropriate.
Warning Due to high speeds when PDC Park Distance Control is activated, the warning can be delayed due to physical circumstances. There is a risk of injury or risk of damage to property.
Avoid approaching an object too fast. Avoid driving off fast while PDC Park Distance Control is not yet active.
