Description
Product Overview
This PDC (Park Distance Control) switch is designed for Citroën C5 II models, allowing you to control and activate the parking sensor system efficiently. It is an essential electrical component that helps drivers park safely by enabling or disabling the vehicle’s parking sensors.
Function and Importance
The PDC switch controls the activation of parking sensors mounted on the front and rear bumpers of the vehicle. When engaged, these sensors detect obstacles and alert the driver, significantly reducing the risk of collisions while parking. Faulty switches can cause the parking system to be unresponsive or inactive, making replacement necessary to restore full functionality.
Compatibility and Installation
This switch fits Citroën C5 II vehicles and is often referenced under product codes 96498324YW and 6554JL. Before purchasing, it is recommended to provide your vehicle’s VIN number in the order notes for compatibility verification. Installation is straightforward for experienced mechanics or competent DIYers; the switch usually slots into the dashboard or center console area and can be swapped out with minimal tools.
Common Issues and Maintenance
PDC switches may fail due to wear, exposure to moisture, or electrical faults over time. Replacement intervals vary based on vehicle use and environment, but if parking sensors stop responding or error lights appear on the dashboard, the switch should be checked promptly.
