POWER MIRROR CONTROL SYSTEM(w/o Memory) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


  1. POWER MIRROR CONTROL SYSTEM (w/o Memory) DESCRIPTION


    1. This system has the following functions: electrical remote control mirror function, power retract mirror function*1, mirror heater function*2 and automatic glare-resistant EC mirror function*3.


      • *1: w/ Retract Mirror

      • *2: w/ Mirror Heater

      • *3: w/ EC Mirror

  2. FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT

    Component Function
    Outer rear view mirror assembly Vertical mirror motor Moves the mirror surface vertically in accordance with the multiplex network master switch assembly operation (up or down).
    Horizontal mirror motor Moves the mirror surface horizontally in accordance with the multiplex network master switch assembly operation (right or left).
    Mirror heater When the mirror heater switch (rear window defogger switch) on the air conditioning control assembly is operated, the air conditioning amplifier assembly detects the switch operation via LIN communication. The air conditioning amplifier assembly operates the semiconductor power integration ECU and mirror heaters in accordance with the switch operation.
    EC mirror cell*1 Varies the reflection rate of the mirror through function of EC elements.
    Multiplex network master switch assembly Mirror select switch Consists of individual R and L switches. One must be on to operate the multiplex network master switch assembly.
    Mirror adjust switch

    Mirror R and L signals are sent to each outer mirror control ECU assembly from the mirror select switch.

    After turning the mirror select switch R or L switch on, the right, left, up and down control switches can be operated to change the angle of the mirror.
    Retractable outer mirror switch*2 Retracts and returns the outer rear view mirror assemblies.

    • *2: w/ Retract Mirror

  3. SYSTEM OPERATION


    1. The power mirror control system (w/o Memory) has the following features:

      Function Outline
      Electrical remote control mirror function When the outer mirror switch on the multiplex network master switch assembly is operated, this function moves the mirror surface vertically or horizontally to enable the driver to attain an optimal mirror angle. Pressing the mirror select switch R switch operates the right side mirror, and pressing the mirror select switch L switch operates the left side mirror.
      Power retract mirror function*1 Retracts and returns the outer rear view mirror assemblies when the retractable outer mirror switch is pressed.
      Mirror heater function*2

      Turns on the mirror heaters when the rear window defogger is turned on. The rear window defogger and mirror heaters automatically turn off 15 minutes after the rear window defogger and mirror heaters were activated. The rear window defogger and mirror heaters continue to operate up to an additional 45 minutes if the following conditions are met.


      • The outside temperature is -3°C (27°F) or lower.

      • The vehicle speed is 45 km/h (28 mph) or higher.
      Automatic glare-resistant EC mirror function*3

      Reduces glare/reflection in the mirror during nighttime driving for safer driving conditions.

      Glare/reflection from vehicle headlights behind could blind the driver and cause dangerous driving conditions.

      • *1: w/ Retract Mirror

      • *2: w/ Mirror Heater

      • *3: w/ EC Mirror
