With low objects.

With objects with corners and sharp edges.

Low objects already displayed, e.g., curbs, can
move into the blind area of the sensors before or
after a continuous tone sounds.
High, protruding objects such as ledges may not
be detected.

False warnings

PDC may issue a warning under the following
conditions even though there is no obstacle

When sensors are very dirty or covered in
ice.

When sensors are covered in snow.

On rough road surfaces.

In large buildings with right angles and
smooth walls, e.g., in underground garages.

In heavy exhaust.

Due to other ultrasound sources, e.g.,
sweeping machines, high pressure steam
cleaners or neon lights.

A Check Control message is displayed.
The range of the sensors is shown as a shaded
