==Description - Proximity Warning Device Parktronic System (PTS) Distance Sensor==
Edit required.

==Location - Proximity Warning Device Parktronic System (PTS) Distance Sensor==
Each corner of the vehicle has three Proximity Warning Device or Parktronic sensors, designated as Inner, Centre and Outer.

==Issues - Proximity Warning Device Parktronic System (PTS) Distance Sensor==
===Constant Warning - PTS===
A constant beeping with constant red lights on the internal indicators means that the PTS sensors have failed, been damaged during parking or the associated electrical connector has issues.

Always check first that the relevant sensor is not contaminated with car polish etc or come loose in its mounting.
===Fault Codes - PTS===
Faulty sensors or connectors will often produce the following [[WIS 54.21 Control Units/Modules|Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)]] or Fault Codes which can be accessed via a [[STAR Diagnosis System (SDS) or Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS)|STAR]] Diagnosis System or similar [http://w220.ee/Code_Readers Code Readers]. If a STAR is not available take your car to dealer or M-B specialist to run a diagnostic check. They will give you a list of what is wrong with your car.

When reconnecting the cable to the sensor apply a liberal coating of silicon dielectric grease to the inside of the connector to help prevent water contamination and oxidation of the electrical terminals.
