I love the PDC Parking has become so easy and quick. Now even Stevie Wonder can park a car

I also love the tilting passenger side mirror, it allows me to park right next to the curb without getting a curb-rash!

To disable the tilting right-hand mirror, leave the mirror selector switch in the right position. It won't tilt.

I LOVE the PDC. My 550 would need front and rear brush guards for my wife to be able to drive it without PDC.
John does your signature have rear PDCs?

Wish my car had PDC, very useful in reversing into parking spots at work. Definitely an option I would like to have in my next car.

You're a brave man DOC allowing an aging blind singer to park your car!! BTW I love the PDC option too, for many reasons stated here and because my wife would have knocked down the house by now without it!!!
