Vehicle Application and Function
The presented PDC parking sensor is designed to work with the factory parking assist system in selected Mercedes C-Class, E-Class, and V-Class models. Mounted in the bumper, it covers the front and rear zones, allowing the system to create an accurate map of the vehicle's surroundings during maneuvers in tight parking spaces, underground garages, or parallel parking situations.
This component operates using an ultrasonic signal, which is processed by the vehicle's control unit and presented to the driver in the form of acoustic and graphical signals on the display. A properly functioning PDC sensor significantly reduces the risk of minor collisions at low speeds, leading to lower operational costs related to bumper and bodywork repairs.
Color and Visual Matching
The sensor is finished in Flint Grey Metallic - 368, allowing for an aesthetic match with bodywork in this color without the need for additional painting. This ensures that after installation, the part maintains consistency with the bumper's lines, does not stand out against the car's body, and preserves the vehicle's factory appearance.
Choosing a sensor in the correct color is important not only for visual reasons but also practically – the absence of the need for painting shortens repair time and reduces the risk of damaging the sensor's delicate working surface.
Benefits of Using an Original Parking Sensor
Using an original PDC sensor in Mercedes vehicles offers a number of tangible technical benefits:
- maintaining full compatibility with the factory parking assist system,
- stable operating parameters in various weather conditions,
- correct interaction with the vehicle's electronics without the need for installation modifications,
- appropriate dimensional fit for the mounting socket in the bumper.
This makes the sensor suitable for use both as a replacement part after a collision and for repairing PDC system faults resulting from wear or damage to the existing sensor.
Condition, Verification, and Practical Application
The offered part is a used item from disassembly, intended for users seeking a cost-effective solution while maintaining operational parameters close to factory specifications. Sensors of this type are often chosen by workshops specializing in automotive electronics and by discerning users who prefer used original components over aftermarket alternatives with uncertain performance.

Expanding the PDC System in Mercedes
When expanding or undertaking a comprehensive repair of the parking assist system, it is advisable to consider using several sensors from the same series to ensure consistent operating parameters for the entire system. This is particularly relevant for vehicles where the PDC system is heavily used – for example, in fleet vehicles, taxis, or commercial cars.
