is less than approx. 12 in/30 cm and in the rear
less than approx. 20 in/50 cm, a continuous
tone is sounded.
With front PDC: if objects are located both in
front of and behind the vehicle, an alternating
continuous signal is sounded.
The signal tone is switched off, when selector
lever position P is engaged on vehicles with
Steptronic transmission.
