Visual warning
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5, 2012 BMW X5, and 2011 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The visual PDC warnings are given in the Central Information Display (CID). The display appears as soon as the PDC is activated. The visual warnings are given earlier than the acoustic warnings. The effective range is approx. 2 meters at the front and rear. The graphic display is shown on the CID. The junction box electronics (JBE) deliver the distances between the ultrasonic sensor and registered object across the K-CAN. The PDC display on the CID is an overhead view of the vehicle with the effective range of the ultrasonic sensors.
The distance to objects detected is shown in the colors of traffic lights:
- Distance between 200 (250) and 101 centimeters: green
- Distance between 100 an 51 centimeters: yellow
- Distance less than 50 centimeters: Red
