Purpose and function of the parking sensor

The presented sensor is a component of the Parktronic system responsible for monitoring the space in front of the vehicle during maneuvering. Mounted in the front bumper, it works with other sensors and the control unit to generate acoustic and visual signals that inform the driver about approaching obstacles. A properly functioning sensor helps reduce the risk of damage to the bumper, headlights, or structural elements when parking in tight spaces.

Kosmos Black Metallic color matching

The sensor is finished in Kosmos Black Metallic – 191, which allows for aesthetic integration into body-colored elements of the same shade. As a result, the sensor does not visually stand out from the bumper after installation, maintaining the vehicle's factory character. For users who care about the stylistic consistency of the bodywork, this is a practical solution that eliminates the need for additional painting of the part.

Technical characteristics and installation

The sensor belongs to the group of electrical components classified under Wires, harnesses, and connectors, which work with the vehicle's electrical system and the parking system control module. The sensor's design is intended for installation in the front body area, in the appropriate bumper socket, using the factory electrical connector. This solution facilitates service and replacement – after removing the damaged part, the new sensor can be connected without the need for any modifications to the wiring.

Condition of the part and service application

The offered sensor is a used part, making it an attractive service alternative for drivers and workshops looking for original components at a reasonable price. Replacing a single sensor allows for restoring the proper operation of the Parktronic system without the need to interfere with other parts of the system. This is a practical solution for both post-accident repairs and typical operational failures.
