POWER MIRROR CONTROL SYSTEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


  1. POWER MIRROR CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


    1. This system has the following functions: automatic glare-resistant electrochromic (EC) mirror, reverse shift-linked mirror, electrical remote control type mirror, memory function, and rear window defogger-linked mirror heater.

  2. FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT

    Components Function
    Vertical mirror motor Receives signal from door ECU and adjusts remote control mirror vertically
    Horizontal mirror motor Receives signal from door ECU and adjusts remote control mirror horizontally
    Mirror retract motor Receives signal from door ECU, and retracts and returns remote control mirror
    Mirror heater Receives signal from door ECU and operates mirror heater
    EC mirror cell Varies reflection rate of mirror through function of EC elements
    Mirror retract switch

    • Retracts and returns remote control mirror.

    • Mirror retract and return signals are sent to door ECU from outer mirror switch.
    Mirror master switch

    Consists of R and L switches.

    One must be chosen before mirror control switches can be operated.
    Mirror control switch

    Mirror R and L signals are sent to door ECU from outer mirror switch.

    After selecting R or L switch, RIGHT, LEFT, UP and DOWN control switches change angle of mirror.
    Mirror position sensor

    Detects remote control mirror position.

    This data is sent to door ECU.
    Seat memory switch (for driver side) (SET, M1, M2, M3 switch)

    When SET switch and M1, M2 or M3 switch are pressed simultaneously, signal is input to door ECU and sent to seat ECU which records mirror position.

    When M1, M2 or M3 switch is pressed, signal is input to door ECU and sent to seat ECU which changes mirror position to recorded position.

  3. SYSTEM OPERATION


    1. The remote control mirror has the following features:

      Function Outline
      Manual electrical retractable mirror Retracts remote control mirrors when mirror retract switch is pressed
      Reverse shift-linked mirror

      Directs mirror surface downward to improve visibility when driving in reverse and all conditions below are met:


      • Power switch is ON (IG)

      • Shift lever is moved from position other than R to R

      • Mirror master switch is on R or L position
      Reverse shift-linked mirror position memorization function Memorizes the mirror position when the outer mirror switch is operated while the reverse shift-linked mirror function is operating (can be enabled or disabled using the customize function).
      Electrical remote control type mirror

      When mirror control switch is operated, this function moves mirror surface vertically or horizontally to enable driver to attain optimal mirror angle.

      Setting mirror master switch to R position operates right mirror, and setting it to L position operates left mirror.
      Rear window defogger-linked mirror heater

      Automatically turns on mirror heater when rear window defogger switch is turned on.

      Rear window defogger and mirror heater automatically turn off after 15 minutes.
      Automatic glare-resistant EC mirror

      Reduce glare / reflection in mirror during nighttime driving for safe driving conditions.

      Glare / reflection from vehicle headlights behind could blind driver and cause dangerous driving conditions.
      Memory function Stores adjusted mirror position in front door ECU LH and RH
