Actually...there's a MANUAL ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION of PDC for those times when REVERSE isn't engaged but you desire parking aid help from the PDC sensors. This comes in handy when pulling forward into a tight parking location or spot that may have an obstruction that you want to pull close to (within the approx 2 ft range of the front PDC sensors), but not hit (lamp pole, parking barrier or wall, hedges, small car's bumper, etc).
