BMW x5 2000 Manual Do Utilizador

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. 2 feet (60 cm) behind the respec-
tive bumper. The center sensors in the
rear have a range of approx. 5 feet
(1.50 meters).

Automatic function

The system starts to operate auto-
matically about one second after you
select “Reverse“ with the ignition key in
position 2.

Manual activation

Press the button (arrow); the indicator
lamp comes on.

After driving a distance of more than ap-
prox. 160 feet (50 meters) or exceeding
a speed of approx. 20 mph (30 km/h),
the system switches off and the indica-
tor lamp goes out. Switch the system on
again as required.

Manual deactivation

Press the button again.

Acoustical signals

The distance to the nearest object is
indicated by a tone sounding at various
intervals. As the distance between vehi-
cle and object decreases, the intervals
between the tones become shorter.
A continuous tone indicates the pres-
ence of an object less than approx.
1 foot (30 cm) away.

The warning signal is canceled after
approx. three seconds if you are mov-
ing parallel to a wall.

If there is a malfunction of the system:
The indicator lamp flashes and a short
steady signal tone is sounded

if you activate PDC with the button.

when you select “Reverse“ for the
first time after switching on the igni-
tion.

if a malfunction occurs while the PDC
system is active.

Switch the system off and have the
cause of the malfunction corrected by
your BMW center.
