Driver-side exterior rearview mirror automatic dimming feature
The inside rearview mirror (A67) in combination with the overhead control panel control module (N70) serves as master for dimming the electrically adjustable and heated left outside mirror (M21/1) (special equipment).
|
|
Function prerequisites:
- Voltage not too low or too high
- C.15R or C.15 ON
The light reaching the surface of the mirror is reflected to a greater or lesser extent depending on the magnitude of the control voltage. The control voltage is regulated by the interior rearview mirror unit (A67) (master) and the overhead control panel control module (N70). Two discrete leads are connected to the left front door control module (N69/1) for this purpose (vehicles with right-hand steering: right front door control module ((N69/2)).
Regulation is accomplished depending on the ambient light and the light reaching the mirror. These two variables are measured by the ambient light sensor (A67h2) in the interior rearview mirror housing (rear) and the automatic dimming interior rearview mirror sensor (A67h1) in the mirror glass in the interior rearview mirror unit.
If one of the interior lights is switched on or the CAN message "Reverse gear engaged" is received from the electronic ignition/ starter switch control module (N73), the exterior rearview mirror as well as interior rearview mirror become brighter.

Function
Function requirements:
- no overvoltage/undervoltage
- Term.15R or 15 ON
The left and right exterior mirrors can be electrically adjusted via the switches in the switch train for exterior mirror adjustment with fold in/out function (S50/1) in the front left door control module (N69/1) (RHS vehicle: Front right door control module (N69/2)). The following settings are possible:
- Horizontal mirror glass adjustment
- Vertical mirror glass adjustment
- Mirror housing folding-in (garage position) and folding-out (driving position)
The adjustments are carried out by the motors in the left electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirror (M21/1) and the right electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirror (M21/2). The motors are actuated via the front left door control module (N69/1) and the front right door control module (N69/2).
The memory function (special equipment) can be used to call up stored mirror settings. Setting the parking position of the exterior mirror on the front passenger's side enables the driver to check the distance of the relevant rear wheel from the edge of the curb when reversing into a parking space.
Up to 31.05.01 the fold in exterior mirror switch (S50/1s4) or the fold out exterior mirror switch (S50/1s5) must be actuated until the mirror housings are in the desired position.
As of 01.06.01 the fold in exterior mirror switch (S50/1s4) or the fold out exterior mirror switch (S50/1s5) merely have to be touched, and the mirror housings are automatically moved to the desired position.
