Description
Product Overview
The Parking Distance Control (PDC) Switch is an essential electrical component designed for the Citroën C5 II models. It serves as the activation and deactivation control for the vehicle’s parking sensors, allowing drivers to easily manage the parking assistance system while maneuvering.
This switch is compatible with specific PSA group vehicles, primarily Citroën and Peugeot models utilizing product codes 96498324YW and 6554JL. Proper use of this switch ensures that parking sensors provide accurate proximity warnings, helping to avoid obstacles and enhance safety during parking.
Function and Importance
The PDC switch enables the driver to manually toggle the parking sensor system. Faulty or worn switches may lead to unresponsive sensors or false warnings, which can compromise parking safety. Over time, constant use and exposure to dust or moisture can cause switch failure, making replacement necessary to maintain reliable operation of the parking assist feature.
Installation and Maintenance
Replacing the PDC switch in the Citroën C5 II model typically requires removal of the dashboard trim or control panel where the switch is mounted. It is advisable to disconnect the vehicle battery before attempting replacement to avoid electrical short circuits. The new switch plugs directly into the existing harness, allowing straightforward installation without the need for soldering or additional tools.
