The detection range of the front sensors and the two sensors located at the ends of the rear bumper is approx. 2 ft/60 cm, while the rear center sensors can detect objects to a distance of approx. PDC is a parking aid that can indicate objects when they are approached slowly, as is usually the case when parking. Avoid approaching objects too fast, otherwise the system may give warning of physical obstacles too late. < 89n Automatic function The system starts to operate automatically approx. one second after you select reverse or move the selector lever into the R position with the ignition key in position 2. 530de229 Wait this short period before reversing. Manual activation Press the button, the indicator lamp lights up. Manual deactivation Repairs Index Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 157 897 - © 08/03 BMW AG Press the button again; the indicator lamp goes out. Automatic deactivation After driving a distance of more than approx. 160 ft/50 m or exceeding a speed of approx. 20 mph/30 km/h, the system switches off and the indicator lamp goes out. Switch the system on again as required. Data Maintenance Controls Overview 90nPDC Park Distance Control* Even with PDC, final responsibility for estimating the distance between the vehicle and any obstructions always remains with the driver. Even when sensors are involved, there is a blind spot in which objects cannot be detected. This applies especially in those cases where the system approaches the physical constraints of ultrasonic measurement, as occurs with tow bars and trailer couplings, and in the vicinity of thin or wedge-shaped objects. a curb, can also disappear from the detection area of the sensors again before a continuous tone sounds. Loud sources of sound, inside and outside the vehicle, could drown out the PDC signal tone. < Keep the sensors clean and free of ice or snow in order to ensure that they will continue to operate effectively. Do not apply high pressure spray to the sensors for a prolonged period of time. Keep the spray at least 4 in/10 cm away from the sensors. Antilock Brake System The concept The ABS Antilock Brake System keeps the wheels from locking during braking, thereby enhancing active driving safety. The vehicle continues to be steerable during hard braking. ABS also includes EBV Electronic brake-force distribution. Safe braking, refer to page 132. Acoustic signals The distance from an object is indicated in front with a higher intermittent tone, and at the rear with a lower intermittent tone. As the distance between vehicle and object decreases, the intervals between the tones become shorter. The signal tone becomes continuous once the distance to the nearest object falls to below roughly 1 ft/30 cm. The warning signal is canceled after approx.
