Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented sensor belongs to the Parking sensors category and operates in the rear part of the vehicle, in the bumper area. Its task is to detect obstacles behind the car and transmit a signal to the PDC controller, which enables the generation of acoustic or visual warnings on the display. A properly functioning element of this type increases maneuvering safety in tight parking spaces, facilitates precise reversing, and reduces the risk of minor collisions at low speeds.

Obsidian Black Metallic color matching

The sensor is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, which allows for aesthetic integration into a rear bumper painted in the same shade. The lack of contrast between the bumper surface and the sensor housing makes the element visually discreet while maintaining full functionality. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs or replacing a single sensor in premium class cars, where both technology and appearance matter.

Technical characteristics and integration with the PDC system

As an original Mercedes component, the sensor is designed to work with the factory PDC system in C253/X253 models. This means correct operating parameters, appropriate distance measurement characteristics, and compatibility with the vehicle's electrical harness and controller. Installation takes place in the manufacturer-designated location in the rear bumper, which facilitates correct sensor positioning relative to the surroundings and minimizes the risk of measurement errors.

Component condition and service application

The offered sensor is in used condition, making it an attractive cost-effective alternative to a new component while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This type of part is suitable for both post-collision repairs and replacing a single damaged sensor in an existing parking system. Choosing an original, used sensor allows you to maintain the integrity of the PDC system without the need to use replacements with uncertain parameters.
