Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented parking sensor is designed for installation in the front and rear bumper areas, allowing it to operate in various positions of the factory PDC system. As a component dedicated to Mercedes vehicles, it maintains full compatibility with the factory electrical installation and the control logic of the parking assistance system.

The placement on the vehicle covering both the front and rear allows the same type of sensor to be used in several points of the body, which facilitates service and reduces the risk of selecting the wrong part. This makes it possible to effectively restore the proper operation of the parking assistant after one of the sensors is damaged.

Color and visual fit

The sensor is finished in the Polar Silver Metallic - 761 shade, which allows for aesthetic integration with painted body parts in this color. The use of the factory paint finish reduces the need for additional painting and minimizes visual differences between the sensor and the bumper surface.

Thanks to the color compatibility with the original Mercedes palette, the component fits well into the vehicle's styling line, maintaining a consistent look for the bumper area and improving the overall aesthetics after repair.

Technical characteristics and integration with the PDC system

As a component from the Parking sensors group, the sensor works with the factory PDC controller, transmitting the signal about the distance from obstacles in the form of ultrasonic pulses processed by the vehicle's electronics. The sensor's design is adapted to operate in typical operating conditions in the bumper area, where moisture, dirt, and variable temperatures occur.

Proper geometric fit to the mounting socket in the Mercedes bumper facilitates installation and ensures stable seating of the component. This makes it possible to maintain the correct operating angle of the sensor, which translates into proper range and accuracy of obstacle detection.

Condition and service application

The offered sensor is a used component, which makes it an attractive service solution for users looking for original parts at a reasonable price. Choosing such a sensor allows for maintaining consistency with the factory PDC system without the need to resort to replacements with uncertain parameters.

The product will work well both for point replacement of a single sensor after mechanical damage and for broader repair work within the bumpers, where it is necessary to restore the full functionality of the parking assistance system.

System expansion and selection of other components

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or modernization of the bumper area and parking assistance system in your Mercedes and need other elements from the same group, such as additional sensors, mounts, or wiring harness elements, check the available parts in the Mercedes parking sensors category.

When choosing a used PDC sensor, it is worth paying attention to compatibility with the vehicle's electronics and mounting parameters.
