==== Adjustment motor ====
Due to aging the plastic clips holding the LED cover become fragile and break off.
This lets the moisture to enter the LED casing. If not fixed the LED will burn out and can even cause [[door control module]] damage.
The moisture can be dried out using a heat gun and the broken clip can be fixed using a paper clip (see below).

Function prerequisites:
* Voltage not too low or too high
* C.15R or C.15 ON
The light reaching the surface of the mirror is reflected to a greater
or lesser extent depending on the magnitude of the control
voltage. The control voltage is regulated by the interior rearview
mirror unit (A67) (master) and the overhead control panel control module (N70).
Two discrete leads are connected to the left front door control module (N69/1)
for this purpose (vehicles with right-hand steering: right front door control module ((N69/2)).
Regulation is accomplished depending on the ambient light and
the light reaching the mirror. These two variables are measured by
the ambient light sensor (A67h2) in the interior rearview mirror
housing (rear) and the automatic dimming interior rearview
mirror sensor (A67h1) in the mirror glass in the interior rearview
mirror unit.
If one of the interior lights is switched on or the CAN message
"Reverse gear engaged" is received from the electronic ignition/
starter switch control module (N73), the exterior rearview mirror
as well as interior rearview mirror become brighter.

'''Calling up memory and Ergo positions (driver) up to 31.5.01.'''
When calling up the memory function or Ergo function by pressing
the memory 1 switch (N69/1s6), memory 2 switch (N69/1s7) or
ERGONOMICS switch (N69/1s8) in the left [[door control module]]
(N69/1) the positions stored in the relevant control modules are actuated:
* Inside rearview mirror
* Front passenger's exterior mirror
* Steering column
* Driver seat
The left front door control module (N69/1) recognizes that a switch
is pressed and sends the following message via the CAN:
"Left front memory - Assume position 1/2/Ergo".
Memory 3 (N69/1s15), in the left front door control module (N69/1).
This message is received from the left front SAM control module (N10/6),
from the overhead control panel control module (N70),
from the right front door control module (N69/2) and from the left
front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/1).
Consequently these control modules, and also the left front [[door
control module]] (N69/1), actuate the respective motors (see Figure),
when the button is pressed further, until it is recognized via the
local position recognitions that the stored positions are reached.
'''As of 1.6.01 the Ergo position is not used anymore, it is
replaced by a further memory button.'''
This memory location is called up by pressing the switch for
memory 3 (N69/1s9) in the left front door control module (N69/1).
'''Calling up memory/Ergo positions (front passenger) up to 31.5.01.'''
When the memory feature is called up by pressing the memory 1 switch (N69/2s6),
memory 2 switch (N69/2s7) ERGONOMY switch (N69/2s9) in the right front [[door control module]] (N69/2),
the positions of the front passenger's seat stored in the right front seat
adjustment control module with memory (N32/2) are approached.
The right front door control module (N69/2) recognizes that a
switch is pressed and places the following message on the CAN:
"Right front memory - Assume position 1/2/Ergo". This message is
received from right front seat adjustment control module with
memory (N32/2) which then, when the button is pressed further,
actuates the motors of the right front seat adjustment motor group with memory (M28)
until it is recognized via local position recognitions that the stored positions are reached.
'''As of 1.6.01 the Ergo position is not used anymore, it is
replaced by a further memory button.'''
This memory location is called up by pressing the memory 3 switch
(N69/2s15) in the right front control module (N69/2).
'''Calling up memory positions (rear).'''
(On model 220 with electrically adjustable individual rear seats with
memory)
Left rear side:
When the memory feature is called up by pressing the memory 1
switch (N69/3s3) or memory 2 switch (N69/4s4) or memory 3
switch(N69/3s5) in the driver's side [[door control module]] (N69/3)
the positions of the left rear seat stored in the rear seats control
module (N25/6) are approached.
Right rear side:
When the memory feature is called up by pressing the memory 1
switch (N69/4s3) or memory 2 switch (N69/3s4) or memory 3
switch (N69/4s5) in the right rear [[door control module]] (N69/4)
the respective door control module recognizes that a switch is
pressed and places the following message on the CAN "Left and right rear memory - Assume position 1/2/3".
This message is received by the rear seats control module (N25/6)
which then, if the button is pressed further, actuates the respective
adjustment motors until it is recognized via local position
recognitions that the stored positions are reached.

The parking position for the exterior mirror on the passenger side
can be stored in relation to the key with the left front door
control module (N69/1) (vehicles with right-hand steering: right
front door control module (N69/2)).
 
For this purpose it is first necessary to adjust the rearview mirror to the desired parking
position manually with the mirror adjustment switches in the
exterior mirror adjustment switch group with mirror fold-in/out feature (S50/1).
 
Then press the memory switch (N69/1s9) (vehicles with right-hand steering: (N69/2s9)),
and within 3 seconds the bottom half of the rocker switch of the exterior mirror adjustment up/down switch (S50/1s1).
When this combination of buttons is pressed the left front door control module (N69/1)
transmits the CAN message "Store parking position" to the right front [[door control module]] (N69/2)
(vehicles with right-hand steering: vice versa).
The momentary exterior rearview mirror position is then stored as the parking position.

The left mirror heater (M21/1r1) in the left electrically adjustable and heated exterior rearview mirror (M21/1) and the right mirror heater (M21/1r1) in the right electrically adjustable and heated exterior rearview mirror (M21/2) consist of a heater resistor connected in series with a PTC resistor. The heater resistor is located on the rear of the mirror glass to which it is permanently bonded. The power supply and regulated switching on and switching off of the heater resistors is accomplished by the left front door control module (N69/1)/right front door control module (N69/2). The mirror heater is controlled in relation to the outside air temperature (CAN message from the left front SAM control module (N10/6)) and the dew point (CAN message from automatic A/C pushbutton control module (N22)).

Automatic dimming feature for exterior rearview mirror on driver's side function

For vehicles with option code 249 - INSIDE AND OUTSIDE MIRROR AUTOMATIC DIMMING the exterior rearview mirror on driver's side (M21/1) can be dimmed electro-chromatically.

The inside rearview mirror (A67) in combination with the overhead control panel control module (N70) serves as master for dimming the electrically adjustable and heated left outside mirror (M21/1).

  • 1 - CAN-message: "Shift lever position"
  • 2 - CAN-message: "Reverse gear engaged"
  • A67 - Interior rearview mirror unit
  • M21/1 - Left electrically adjustable and heated exterior rearview mirror
  • M21/2 - Right electrically adjustable and heated exterior rearview mirror
  • N15/5 - Electronic shift lever module control module
  • N70 - Overhead control panel control module
  • N73 - Electronic ignition/starter switch control module

Function prerequisites:

  • Voltage not too low or too high
  • C.15R or C.15 ON

The light reaching the surface of the mirror is reflected to a greater or lesser extent depending on the magnitude of the control voltage. The control voltage is regulated by the interior rearview mirror unit (A67) (master) and the overhead control panel control module (N70). Two discrete leads are connected to the left front door control module (N69/1) for this purpose (vehicles with right-hand steering: right front door control module ((N69/2)).

Regulation is accomplished depending on the ambient light and the light reaching the mirror. These two variables are measured by the ambient light sensor (A67h2) in the interior rearview mirror housing (rear) and the automatic dimming interior rearview mirror sensor (A67h1) in the mirror glass in the interior rearview mirror unit.

If one of the interior lights is switched on or the CAN message "Reverse gear engaged" is received from the electronic ignition/ starter switch control module (N73), the exterior rearview mirror as well as interior rearview mirror become brighter.
