82 n The concept The PDC assists you when you are parking. Acoustical signals inform you of the distance to an obstacle. To do this, four ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers measure the distance to the nearest object. The monitoring range for the front sensors as well as the two rear corner sensors ends ap- prox.
Index Data Technology Repairs Car care Controls Overview 83 n PDC * Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) The PDC system does not remove the driver's personal responsibility for evaluating the distance between the vehicle and any obstacles. Even when sensors are involved, there is a blind spot in which objects cannot be de- tected.
84 n DSC Hill Descent Control (HDC) As a result of the traction interven- tion, the brakes may be subjected to additional loads when the system is deactivated. For this reason, it is possi- ble that the braking intervention will be disabled automatically for a brief period in order to limit brake temperature.
Index Data Technology Repairs Car care Controls Overview 85 n HDC To use HDC You can use HDC in every drive position. In the event of a fault The indicator lamp goes out in the HDC mode or does not come on when HDC is activated: HDC is temporarily not available if brake temperature is too high.
