Driver-side exterior rearview mirror automatic dimming feature

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) (special equipment).

  • 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.
