Purpose and function of the parking sensor

The presented sensor is designed for installation in the rear of the vehicle, where it is responsible for the precise detection of obstacles during maneuvering. It integrates with the factory PDC system, transmitting signals to the control unit and the acoustic or visual warning system. This provides the driver with clear information about the distance to obstacles, reducing the risk of damage to the bumper and body components.

Obsidian Black Metallic color match

The sensor is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic - 197, allowing for a visually consistent integration into a bumper painted in the same shade. This match eliminates the need for additional painting and facilitates a quick replacement of the damaged part. At the same time, the aesthetics of the rear of the vehicle are maintained, with no visible differences in paint tone.

Benefits of using an original PDC sensor

Using an original PDC sensor in a Mercedes W212 ensures the proper operation of the parking assistance system without the need for any wiring modifications. The component is designed to work with the factory electrical harness and control unit, which promotes stable system performance and reduces the risk of diagnostic errors. For the user, this means predictable parking assistant operation and maintained comfort during daily use.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered sensor is a used part, which provides a favorable compromise between cost and functionality. Such components typically come from vehicle dismantling and are selected for their maintained efficiency and compliance with factory standards.
