System Description
- POWER MIRROR CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This system has the following functions: automatic glare resistant electrochromatic (EC) mirror, reverse shift-linked mirror, electrical remote control type mirror, memory function, and rear window defogger-linked mirror heater.
- FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT COMPONENT FUNCTION CHART
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 starts 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 integration panel and switch assembly Mirror master switch Consists of R and L switches
One must be chosen before mirror control switches can be operatedMirror control switch Mirror R and L signals are sent to door ECU from integration panel and switch assembly
After selecting R or L switch, RIGHT, LEFT, UP and DOWN control switches change angle of mirror. Mirror signals are sent to door ECU from integration control and panel assemblyMirror position sensor Detects remote control mirror position
This data is detected by door ECUSeat memory switch (driver side) (SET, M1, M2, M3 switch)(1) When SET switch and M1, M2 or M3 switch are pressed simultaneously, signal is input to multiplex network master switch and sent to position control ECU, which records mirror position When M1, M2 or M3 switch is pressed, signal is input to multiplex network master switch and sent to position control ECU, which changes mirror position to recorded position (1) w/ Seat position memory - SYSTEM OPERATION
The remote control mirror has the following features:
COMPONENT FUNCTION CHARTFunction 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 - Engine switch is on (IG)
- Shift lever is moved from position other than R to R
- Mirror master switch is on R or L position
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
Selecting mirror master switch to R position operates right mirror, and setting it to L position operates left mirrorRear 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 min.Automatic glare-resistant EC mirror Reduce glare / reflection in inner rear view mirror during nighttime driving for safe driving conditions
Glare / reflection from vehicle headlights behind could blind driver and cause dangerous driving conditionsMemory function(1) Stores adjusted mirror position in front multiplex network door ECU LH and RH (1) w/ Seat position memory
