1 Answers
BMW PDC indicates an issue with the parking distance control system. Definition of Parking Distance Control (PDC): PDC is a safety assistance device used during parking or reversing, which alerts the driver about surrounding obstacles through audible signals or more intuitive displays. It eliminates the hassle of checking around the vehicle when parking, reversing, or starting, and helps the driver overcome blind spots and unclear visibility. Components of PDC: PDC mainly consists of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display or buzzer. Ultrasonic Sensors: Their primary function is to send and receive ultrasonic signals, then input these signals to the main unit for display on the display device. Controller: Processes the signals to calculate the distance and orientation between the vehicle body and obstacles. Display or Buzzer: When the sensors detect that the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle reaches a dangerous level, the system alerts the driver through the display and buzzer.
