Park Distance Control (PDC) Applicable only in the United States ¤ Introduction In this section you’ll find information about: Park Distance Control (PDC) Depending on vehicle equipment, the vehicle may be equipped with the Park Distance Control system (PDC). The Park Distance Control (PDC) system can help the driver when backing up and parking. PDC uses ultrasonic sensors in the bumpers to measure the distance between the vehicle and objects. The system uses the time it takes for the ultrasonic waves to bounce back from the object to calculate the distance between the vehicle and an object. Park Distance Control works only at speeds up to about 6 – 9 mph (10 – 15 km/h). If the vehicle gets too close to an obstacle behind it, a beeping signal sounds. The closer the vehicle gets to the obstacle, the faster the beep. When the obstacle is very close, the sound is continuous. If you move even closer to the obstacle despite the continuous warning sound, the system cannot measure the distance remaining until collision. A Declaration of Compliance with the United States FCC and Industry Canada regulations is found in, Declaration of Compliance, Telecommunications and Electronic Systems.

Never rely completely on these systems for information about people and objects that might be in the way of the vehicle and could be struck resulting in serious personal injuries. x The sensors have blind spots in which they cannot detect people, animals, and objects . x Always be careful and look around you when parking. The sensors cannot always etdect people, animals, and objects. Watch out for small children and animals in particular. x Certain types of clothing and the surfacesof certain objects do not reflect the ultrasonic waves that the sensors send and receive. Such objects and persons wearing such clothing will not be detected by PDC or will not be detected accurately. x Noise in the area can interfere with the signals of the Park Distance Control sensors. Under certain circumstances, the system will not detect people and objects for this reason.
