Important information
These installation instructions are primarily designed for use within the BMW dealership organization
and by authorised BMW service companies.
In any event the target group for these installation instructions is specialist personnel trained on BMW
cars with the appropriate specialist knowledge.
All work must be completed using the latest BMW repair manuals, circuit diagrams, servicing manuals
and work instructions in a rational order using the prescribed tools (special tools) and observing current
health and safety regulations.
To avoid unnecessary extra work and/or costs, if any installation or function problems occur,
after a brief troubleshooting session (approx. 0.5 hours), an inquiry is to be sent straight away to
the technical parts support via the Aftersales Assistance Portal (ASAP), quoting the chassis
number, the part number of the retrofit kit and a precise description of the problem.
Do not archive the hard copy of these installation instructions since daily updates are made by ASAP.

9. Customer Information for Operating the Rear Park Distance Control (PDC)
Print out this customer information and give it to the customer.

Function
The PDC is a system which assists you when parking and maneuvering.
Ultrasonic sensors record the position of obstacles behind the car and inform the driver by means of
acoustic signals.
Acoustic signals start when an obstacle is detected by the PDC.
The closer the car approaches the obstacle, the more rapid the acoustic signals. A permanent signal
sounds when the distance to the obstacle reaches 30 cm/1 ft.
Operation
The PDC is switched on automatically as soon as reverse gear is engaged when the ignition is turned on.
The PDC is switched off automatically as soon as the ignition is turned off or reverse gear is disengaged.
Judging obstacles is exclusively the responsibility of the driver, who must drive attentively and
carefully in order to avoid damaging property and injuring people.ꢀ
!
As with all ultrasonic distance measuring systems, signals may be triggered incorrectly or individual
objects may not be registered sufficiently.
Due to the car, blind spots may occur in front of the bumper and at its lateral ends. Obstacles in these
blind spots may not be registered sufficiently, or not at all.
The limits of what can be physically measured may be reached when encountering very low obstacles
(lower than 10 cm/0,33 ft), thin obstacles (thinner than 6 cm/0,2 ft) or pointed obstacles. Such obstacles
might not be registered sufficiently under certain circumstances.
To guarantee that the PDC operates properly, you should drive slowly when parking and maneuvering
and also keep the ultrasonic sensors free from snow, ice or dirt.
Strong wind, falling snow or rain can trigger incorrect signals.ꢀ
