BMW X3 Owners Manual: The concept
PDC is a support when parking. When you slowly approach an object in the rear - or also in the front of the vehicle if the feature is available - then the object is reported through:
- Signal tones.
- Visual display.
General information
Ultrasound sensors in the bumpers measure the distances from objects.
The maneuvering range, depending on the obstacle and environmental conditions, is approx. 6 ft/2 m.
An acoustic warning is first given:
- By the front sensors and the two rear corner sensors at approx. 24 in/60 cm.
- By the rear middle sensors at approx. 5 ft/1.50 m.
To ensure full functionality:
- Do not cover sensors, e.g., with stickers, bicycle racks.
- Keep the sensors clean and free of ice.
- When using high-pressure washers, do not spray the sensors for long periods and maintain a distance of at least 12 in/30 cm.
