3 Detection�of�obstacle�by�the�ultrasonic�sensors
If�an�object�has�been�detected�by�Auto�PDC,�the�system�must�be�reactivated�so�that�it�cannot�be
accidentally�switched�on,�for�example�in�a�car�wash.�Reactivation�is�effected�by:
• driving�speed�>�5km/h
• drive�position�change
If�a�drive�position�change�is�made�into�neutral,�the�Park�Distance�Control�is�not�activated�automatically,
again�to�avoid�it�being�switched�on,�for�example�in�a�car�wash.
The�automatic�switch-on�function�when�obstacles�are�detected�can�be�switched�on�and�off�via�iDrive.
