The system switches on automatically in the following situations:

  • With the engine running, when selector lever position R is engaged.
  • Depending on the equipment version: while approaching detected obstacles at a speed lower than approx. 2.5 mph. The activation distance depends on the situation in question.

 

 

Perform the following to automatically switch Park Distance Control on or off:

You may switch automatic activation when obstacles are detected on and off.

  1. "CAR"
  2. "Settings"
  3. "Driver Assistance"
  4. "Parking and Maneuvering"
  5. If necessary, "Automatic PDC Activation"
  6. "Automatic PDC Activation"

Depending on equipment, an additional camera view is also switched on.

 

 

The system switches off when a certain distance travelled or speed is exceeded.

You can switch the system back on, if needed.

 

 

Perform the following to manually switch the Park Distance Control on or off:

Press the park assistance button.

  • On: the LED illuminates.
