System Description [09/2014 - ]

  1. POWER MIRROR CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 
    1. This system has the following functions: power retract function, auto power retract function, electrical remote control function, reverse shift-linked function, memory function and mirror heater function.
  2. FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT 
    Component Function
    Vertical mirror motor Receives a signal from the front multiplex network door ECU and adjusts the mirror surface position vertically.
    Horizontal mirror motor Receives a signal from the front multiplex network door ECU and adjusts the mirror surface position horizontally.
    Power retract mirror motor* Receives a signal from the front multiplex network door ECU, and retracts and returns the outer mirror actuators.
    Mirror heater Receives a signal from the front multiplex network door ECU and operates the mirror heater.
    EC mirror cell Varies reflection rate of the mirror through function of EC elements.
    Mirror retract switch* Retracts and returns the outer mirror actuators. Mirror retract and return signals are sent to each front multiplex network door ECU 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.
    Mirror adjust switch Mirror R and L signals are sent to each front multiplex network door ECU 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 front multiplex network door ECU.
    Seat memory switch When the seat memory M1, M2 or M3 switch is pressed while the SET switch is being pressed, or the M1, M2 or M3 switch is pressed within 3 seconds after the SET switch is pressed, a signal is input to the front multiplex network door ECU LH, which records the mirror surface position.
    When the seat memory switch is pressed, a signal is input to the front multiplex network door ECU LH and sent to main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU), which changes the mirror surface position to the recorded position.
    Front multiplex network door ECU Operates each mirror motor based on signals from the retractable outer mirror switch, mirror select switch and mirror 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.

  3. SYSTEM OPERATION 
    1. The remote control mirror has the following features.
      Function Outline
      Electrical remote control mirror function When the outer mirror switch 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 mirror actuators when the retractable outer mirror switch is pressed.
      AUTO power retract mirror function* Retracts and returns each outer mirror actuator together with the following operations while the retractable outer mirror switch is AUTO.
      • Key-linked lock/unlock
      • Wireless door lock/unlock
      • Wireless 30 second auto lock
      • Entry lock/unlock
      • Smart 30 second auto lock
      Memory and reactivation function When the SET switch and seat memory M1, M2 or M3 switch are pressed simultaneously, or the SET switch is pressed and then seat memory switch M1, M2 or M3 is pressed within 3 seconds, the mirror position is recorded.
      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:
      • The engine switch is on (IG)
      • The shift lever is moved to R
      • The mirror select switch is in the 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).
      Mirror heater function Automatically turns on the mirror heater when the mirror heater switch is turned on. The rear window defogger and mirror heaters automatically turn off after 15 min. For vehicles with an air conditioning system, there is a timer extension function which can operate the mirror heater function for up to an additional 45 minutes.
      Automatic glare-resistant EC mirror function Reduces glare/reflection in the mirror during nighttime driving for safe driving conditions.
      Glare/reflection from vehicle headlights behind could blind driver and cause dangerous driving conditions.
