System Description

POWER MIRROR CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This system has these functions: automatic glare-resistant electrochromatic (EC) mirror, electrical remote control type mirror, memory function, foot light function, and rear window defogger-linked mirror defogger.

FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT

FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT

Components	Function
Vertical mirror motor	Receives signal from memory mirror ECU and adjusts remote control mirror in the vertical direction.
Horizontal mirror motor	Receives signal from memory mirror ECU and adjusts remote control mirror in the horizontal direction.
Mirror defogger	Receives signal from defogger relay and starts mirror defogger.
EC mirror cell	Varies reflection rate of mirror through function of EC elements.
Mirror control switch	After selecting "R" or "L" switch, control switches change angle of mirror. Mirror signals are sent to memory mirror ECU through body ECU.
Mirror master switch	Consists of "R" and "L" switch. One must be chosen before mirror control switches can be operated.
Mirror position sensor	Detects remote control mirror position. This data is detected by memory mirror ECU.
Set switch	When set switch and memory switches are pressed simultaneously, SET, 1 or 2 switch is input body ECU and remote control mirror position is recorded.
Memory switch	Then, when memory switch is pressed, 1 or 2 switch is input to memory mirror ECU and remote control mirror position changes according to memory.

SYSTEM OPERATION

The remote control mirror has following features:

SYSTEM OPERATION

Function	Outline
Ignition switch-linked automatic electrical retractable mirror	This function automatically retracts remote control mirrors when ignition switch is turned from ON to LOCK. This feature improves convenience of vehicle by eliminating need to manually operate mirror retract switch after stopping vehicle.
Manual electrical retractable mirror	This function retracts remote control mirrors when mirror retract switch is pressed.
Electrical remote control type mirror	When mirror control switch is operated, this function moves mirror surface vertically or laterally to enable driver to attain optimal mirror angle. Setting mirror master switch to "R" position operates right mirror, and to "L" position operates left mirror.
Rear window defogger-linked mirror defogger	This function automatically turns on mirror defogger when rear window defogger switch is turned on. After 15 minutes have elapsed from time this function has been activated, rear window defogger turns off automatically, and mirror defogger also turns off.
Wiper-linked mirror defogger	To improve rear visibility in the rain, this system automatically turns on mirror defogger when wiper switch is turned on.
Automatic glare-resistant EC mirror	This function helps to reduce glare/reflection in inner mirror during nighttime driving for safe driving conditions. Glare/reflection from vehicle headlights behind driver could blind driver and cause dangerous driving conditions.
Memory function	This function stores adjusted mirror position in driver and front passenger memory mirror ECU.
