BMW X3 Owners Manual: The concept
This system assists the driver in parking parallel to the road.
Ultrasound sensors measure parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.
The parking assistant calculates the best possible parking line and takes control of steering during the parking procedure.
When parking, also take note of the visual and acoustic information and instructions issued by the PDC, the parking assistant and the rearview camera and react accordingly.
A component of the parking assistant is the PDC Park Distance Control.
Hints
Personal responsibility
Even an active system does not relieve the driver from personal responsibility while driving.
Technically the system has its limits, it cannot independently react to all traffic situations.
Monitor your driving, be on the alert, observe the vehicle surroundings and other traffic and react when needed - risk of accident.
Changes to the parking space
Changes to the parking space after it was measured are not taken into account by the system.
Therefore, always be alert and ready to intervene; otherwise, there is the risk of an accident.
Transporting cargo
Cargo that extends beyond the perimeter of the vehicle is not taken into account by the system during the parking procedure.
Therefore, always be alert and ready to intervene; otherwise, there is the risk of an accident.
Curbs
The parking assistant may steer the vehicle over or onto curb if need be. Therefore, always be alert and ready to intervene; otherwise, the wheels, tires, or the vehicle may become damaged.
An engine that has been switched off by the Auto Start Stop function is restarted automatically when the parking assistant is activated.
