1.
Open the start menu.
2.
Press the controller to open the   menu.
3.
Select "Vehicle settings" and press the 
controller.
4.
Select "PDC" and press the controller.
5.
Select "PDC display on" and press the con-
troller.
 The PDC screen is activated.
The display appears on the Control Display as 
soon as PDC is activated.
The setting is stored for the remote control cur-
rently in use.
System limits
Even with PDC, final responsibility for 
estimating the distance between the 
vehicle and any obstacles always remains with 
the driver. Even when sensors are involved, 
there is a blind spot in which objects cannot be 
detected. This applies especially in those cases 
where the system approaches the physical con-
straints of ultrasonic measurement, as occurs 
with tow bars and trailer couplings, and in the 
vicinity of thin or wedge-shaped objects. Low 
objects already displayed, e.g. a curb, can dis-
appear from the detection area of the sensors 
again before a continuous tone sounds. Higher, 
protruding objects, e.g. ledges, cannot be 
detected. Loud noises from outside and inside 
the vehicle may prevent you from hearing the 
PDC signal tone.

Driving stability control 
systems
Your BMW is equipped with an extended array 
of systems designed to enhance and maintain 
vehicle stability under extreme conditions.
ABS Antilock Brake System
ABS prevents the wheels from locking during 
braking. Safe steering response is maintained 
even during hard braking. This increases active 
driving safety.
ABS is operational every time you start the 
engine. For information on safe braking, refer to 
page
CBC Cornering Brake Control
This system provides further enhancements to 
vehicle stability and steering response when 
braking while cornering or when braking during 
a lane change.
Electronic brake-force distribution
This system controls the brake system's appli-
cation pressure at the rear wheels to ensure 
stable deceleration.
DBC Dynamic Brake Control
When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system 
automatically produces the maximum braking 
force boost and thus helps to achieve the short-
est possible braking distance during full brak-
ing. This system exploits all of the benefits pro-
vided by ABS.
Do not reduce pressure on the brake pedal for 
the duration of the braking maneuver. DBC is 
switched off when the brake pedal is released.
DSC Dynamic Stability Control
DSC prevents traction loss in the driving wheels 
when starting off and accelerating. DSC also 
detects unstable driving conditions such as 
fishtailing or sliding of the vehicle's front 
wheels. In these cases, DSC helps the vehicle 
safely stay on course within the physical limits 
by reducing the engine output and by applying 
the brakes differently in the individual wheels.
