- "Settings (i)" menu
- "Vehicle settings" menu
- "PDC" menu
- Activate "Display on"

So long as reverse gear is engaged, an acoustic signal (reversing gong) is given via the multi-audio system controller (M-ASK) and the mid-range loudspeaker.
The reversing gong is deactivated immediately if the PDC detects an object in the effective range and emits its own acoustic warning.
