Function sequence for automatically dimming outside and inside rearview mirror

C. 15R On

No overvoltage or undervoltage

Reverse gear not engaged

Interior illumination switched off

The current circuit status and the status of the reverse gear are transmitted by the EIS control unit (N73) to the interior CAN.

Automatically dimming outside mirror and inside rearview mirror, function sequence

The mirror glass of the inside rearview mirror (A67) and left electrically adjustable and heated outside mirror (M21/1) is electro-chromatically dimmable. This is realized by a layer of electrolyte gel in the mirror which controls the light permeability in increments depending on the voltage applied.

The inside rearview mirror unit senses the ambient light via the mirror dimming sensor, forward (A67h1) and the light hitting the mirror glass via the mirror dimming sensor, rearward (A67h2).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The overhead control panel control unit (N70) evaluates these input factors and transmits them to the left door control unit (N69/1) via the interior CAN. The left front door control unit then actuates the mirror dimming (M21/1h1).

The mirror dimming (A67h3) of the inside mirror is actuated directly by the overhead control panel control unit.

If an interior illumination is switched on during mirror dimming or the reverse gear is engaged, the dimming is interrupted.
