Activating System

The PDC must be switched on, by engaging reverse gear, in order to activate the distance signalling function.

The PDC receives the signal information via the K-CAN:

• Manual transmission vehicles - the Footwell Module reads the signal from the gearshift lever and makes it available via the K-CAN
• On automatic transmission vehicles - the automatic transmission control unit sends the signal via the PT-CAN to the Junction Box Electronics Control Module, which makes the signal available via the K-CAN.

The PDC can also be activated by means of the button in the center console switch cluster. The signal from the button is received by the IHKA which transmits it via the K-CAN to the PDC.
