POWER MIRROR CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This system has the following functions: power retract function, auto power retract function, electrical remote control function, reverse shift-linked function, memory function, automatic glare-resistant EC mirror function and mirror heater function.
FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Vertical mirror motor | Receives a signal from the outer mirror control ECU assembly and adjusts the mirror surface position vertically. |
| Horizontal mirror motor | Receives a signal from the outer mirror control ECU assembly and adjusts the mirror surface position horizontally. |
| Power retract mirror motor | Receives a signal from the outer mirror control ECU assembly, and retracts and returns the outer rear view mirror assembly. |
| Mirror heater*1 | Receives a signal from the outer mirror control ECU assembly and operates the mirror heater. |
| Mirror retract switch | Retracts and returns the outer rear view mirror assembly. Mirror retract and return signals are sent to each outer mirror control ECU assembly from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). |
| Mirror select switch | Consists of the R and L switches. One must be chosen to operate the outer mirror switch assembly. |
| Mirror surface adjust switch | Mirror R and L signals are sent to each outer mirror control ECU assembly from the mirror select switch. After selecting the R or L switch, the right, left, up and down control switches can be operated to change the angle of the mirror. |
| Mirror position sensor | Detects the mirror surface position. This data is detected by the outer mirror control ECU assembly. |
| Seat memory switch*4 | When the seat memory M1 or M2 switch is pressed while the SET switch is being pressed, or the M1 or M2 switch is pressed within 3 seconds after the SET switch is pressed, a signal is input to the outer mirror control ECU assembly LH*2 and RH*3, which memorizes the mirror surface position. When the seat memory switch is pressed, a signal is input to the outer mirror control ECU assembly LH*2 and RH*3 and sent to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU), which changes the mirror surface position to the memorized position. |
| Outer mirror control ECU assembly | Operates each mirror motor based on signals from the retractable outer mirror switch assembly, mirror select switch and mirror surface adjust switch. Based on information from the mirror position sensor, 2 different mirror surface positions can be stored. By operating a seat memory switch, the mirror surface moves to the stored position. |

SYSTEM OPERATION
The remote control mirror has the following features.
| Function | Outline |
|---|---|
| Electrical remote control mirror function | When the outer mirror switch assembly is operated, this function moves the mirror surface vertically or horizontally to enable the driver to attain an optimal mirror angle. Setting the mirror select switch to the R position operates the right mirror, and setting it to the L position operates the left mirror. |
| Power retract mirror function | Retracts and returns the outer rear view mirror assembly when the mirror retract switch is pressed. |
| AUTO power retract mirror function | Retracts and returns each outer rear view mirror assembly together with the following operations while the mirror retract switch is AUTO.
|
| Memory and reactivation function*1 | When the SET switch and seat memory M1 or M2 switch are pressed simultaneously, or the SET switch is pressed, and then the seat memory switch M1 or M2 is pressed within 3 seconds, the mirror position is memorized. |
| Reverse shift-linked function of mirrors | Directs the mirror surface downward to improve visibility when driving in reverse and all the conditions below are met:
|
| Reverse shift-linked mirror position memorization function | Memorizes the mirror position when the outer mirror switch assembly is operated while the reverse shift-linked mirror function is operating (can be enabled or disabled using the customize function). |
| Mirror heater function*2 | Turns on the mirror heaters when the rear window defogger switch (mirror heater switch) is turned on. The rear window defogger and mirror heaters automatically turn off 15 minutes after the mirror heater function was activated. The mirror heater continues to operate up to an additional 45 minutes if the following conditions are met.
