GLC 300
Is this normal or something missing?
Just noticed this on my 2018 GLC 300, that the R front wheel has 2 small cables attached, but L front wheel has just 1 cable and 1 empty slot (please see the picture attached, arrow pointing to the empty slot on L front wheel). Did not notice anything wrong with driving, and no error message showed up. Just had 10,000 mile service schedule A done at dealership.

Is this the way it is or maybe dealership forgot to put the cable on? What is this cable for?

Pic 1 (L front wheel, you can see only 1 cable puls 1 empty slot)
Pic 2 (R front wheel, you can see 2 cables attached)

Thanks!

I`m pretty sure they are ABS (Automatic Braking System) sensors and most cars usually have one per wheel.

Hi, it's perfectly normal. One is for the ABS Sensor, the second one is Brake Pad wear. You only need one wear indicator per axle as you should change the pads by axle sets.
