MAN 81259370077 distance sensor

Description

This distance sensor, manufactured by MAN with MPN 81259370077, is a crucial component of vehicle safety systems. It is used to detect the proximity of objects, aiding in features like parking assistance, collision avoidance, and adaptive cruise control. Measuring 125 x 41 x 2381 mm, this sensor provides accurate and reliable distance readings, enhancing vehicle safety and driver awareness. Its robust design and precise measurements contribute to improved system performance and operational longevity.

Key Features & Benefits

These sensors basically measure how far away things are from your vehicle. They use things like radar, ultrasonic waves, or even infrared light to do this. They’re most commonly used for things like parking assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. They send that distance information to the car’s computer, which then decides what to do – whether to warn you, slow down, or even apply the brakes. Think of it like this: the sensor is the car’s eyes and ears when it comes to nearby objects. It’s constantly scanning, figuring out how close things are, and sending that data back to the central computer. That computer then uses that information to help keep you safe and make driving easier. Different sensors handle different jobs, so there are often several in a vehicle, each dedicated to a specific system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, they’re pretty crucial for a lot of modern safety features. If one of these sensors goes bad, you’ll notice if your parking assist stops working, your adaptive cruise control isn’t maintaining a safe distance, or you’re getting false warnings. Basically, anything that relies on knowing how close you are to other vehicles or objects will be affected. You can find replacements for these pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online have a good selection. Ignoring a faulty sensor isn’t really an option since it directly impacts those safety systems, so it’s best to get it sorted out when you discover an issue. It acts like a shield against potential collisions, and you want that shield working properly.
