Product Overview
The PDC (Park Distance Control) switch is an essential component designed specifically for Citroën C5 II vehicles. It serves as the control unit for the vehicle’s parking sensor system, allowing drivers to activate or deactivate the parking sensors with ease. This switch enhances parking safety by giving clear access to the system’s on/off function, useful in tight spaces or when sensors may be temporarily obstructed.

To ensure proper fitment, customers are advised to provide their vehicle VIN number when ordering, allowing for compatibility verification.
Function and Replacement
The PDC switch allows control over the vehicle’s park assist sensors by toggling the system on or off. This functionality is critical when parking sensors might give false alarms due to dirt, snow, or when towing.
