Purpose and vehicle function

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and is intended for installation on the right side of the body in Mercedes C238 series vehicles. The design complies with the manufacturer's factory standards, ensuring correct viewing angles, housing geometry, and integration with the side body line.

This component is responsible for:

• providing a clear view of the right side of the vehicle and the adjacent lane,
• working with the blind spot monitoring system,
• transmitting the camera image to the relevant vehicle modules,
• maintaining the consistent styling of the side body section.

Equipment: camera and blind spot assist

The mirror is factory-equipped to work with driver assistance systems such as the camera and blind spot assist. Consequently, after proper installation, it is possible to maintain or restore:

• signaling the presence of vehicles in the blind spot on the right side,
• transmitting the camera image to vehicle systems (e.g., parking assist or surround view systems),
• the correct operation of safety functions associated with this area of the body.

This combination of optical and electronic functions makes the mirror an essential part of daily operation, especially in urban traffic and during parking maneuvers.

Color and visual fit

The housing is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, allowing for an aesthetic match to vehicles painted in this shade. The metallic structure of the paint ensures consistency with the factory body finish, reducing the need for additional painting after installation, provided the car has the same color code.

By maintaining the original styling line, the mirror blends well with the door and pillar contours, which is important for both visual and aerodynamic reasons.

Technical specifications and installation

The mirror is designed as a component compatible with factory mounting points on the right-side door. This facilitates installation in place of a damaged component without the need for modifications to the door structure or electrical wiring, while maintaining proper compatibility with the specific vehicle's equipment.

In practice, this means that:

• the correct mounting points in the door are preserved,
• integration with the electrical system responsible for the camera and blind spot assist is provided,
• the mirror geometry allows for the correct adjustment of the driver's field of view.

The product is offered as a used item, which allows for an economical vehicle repair while maintaining the original design and functionality.

Practical application and additional resources

Replacing the right-side mirror with a camera and blind spot assist is particularly important after parking damage, side collisions, or failure of optical modules. Restoring the full functionality of this component affects driving comfort, safety during lane changes, and the correct operation of driver assistance systems.
