Application and function in the vehicle

The presented set belongs to the Parking sensors category and is intended for installation in the front part of Mercedes W204 and W212 series vehicles. The sensors work with the factory PDC system, responsible for real-time measurement of the distance from obstacles located in front of the car. As a result, the driver receives acoustic or visual warning signals, which facilitates precise parking in tight spaces and reduces the risk of bumper damage.

The front placement on the vehicle allows for effective monitoring of the zone directly in front of the car, especially during maneuvers in underground parking lots, garages, and when approaching walls, posts, or other low-height obstacles.

Color and visual fit

The sensors are finished in the Stannite Grey Metallic - 786 shade, which enables aesthetic integration with a bumper painted in the same or a similar color. The metallic grey blends well with both dark and lighter body variants, maintaining a consistent look for the entire front section of the vehicle. Thanks to this, the PDC system components do not visually stand out from the bodywork, and the whole assembly retains its factory character.

Set characteristics and benefits of installation

The set includes four sensors, which allows for even coverage of the entire width of the front bumper and obtaining clear information about the distance from obstacles at various points. Using original solutions for Mercedes promotes proper cooperation with the existing electrical installation and vehicle control modules.

• better control over the distance from obstacles when parking forward,
• increased maneuvering comfort in conditions of limited visibility,
• maintaining a consistent bumper appearance thanks to the matched color,
• possibility to restore the factory functionality of the PDC system in a Mercedes W204 or W212.

Condition of components and technical aspects

The sensor set comes from the category of used components, which allows for an economical restoration of the parking system's efficiency while maintaining appropriate quality. The elements are intended for installation in place of the factory sensors, using existing sockets in the bumper and factory wiring, which facilitates service and shortens workshop time.

For proper selection and compatibility verification, it is worth using the manufacturer's markings and interchangeable numbers visible in the technical specification section – this allows you to match the set to a specific vehicle configuration and avoid problems with integration into the car's electronics.
