Product Details

VEMO V30-72-0042 is a body sensor designed for parking assistance systems on Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Common Issues This Sensor Can Address

• Parking assist warning messages caused by a failed front outer sensor

Installation Notes

Verify the OE number, connector style, and front outer position before ordering. This sensor uses a 3-pin connector and an angled housing, so correct orientation in the bumper opening is important for proper operation. Paint the sensor only if required for color matching, and follow the vehicle’s parking aid system procedures after installation to confirm normal function.
