Rear bumper sensors but no parktronic
I have a 2015 C300 with the AMG Sport Package. I was just very curious as to what looks like 2 sensors in the rear bumper are? They're not on the painted part of the bumper like parktronic would be. I have no idea what these are.

Those sensors are on every W205 vehicle (at least here in the U.S.). Sport package or not. It has to do with the Collision Prevention Plus and PRE SAFE system I believe. I had the car beep on me once when I was almost at a complete stop and saw a car approaching me unnecessarily fast from behind through my rearview mirror.

They are definetely not for the PRE SAFE system. That uses radar. Similar to the system in the front. That is integrated in the bumper.

The parking sensors cannot be as far apart as Dapperstyle shows on his picture. In that case the sensors would miss a pole in the center.
There are 6 sensors front and rear, but since i have an estate a cannot do an exact compare.
It starts to look more like they are dummy plugs that fill the pre moulded holes in the part.
Especially when you have only 2 holes in the rear.
