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).
|
|
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.

(Shown on LHS vehicle)
|
|
Function requirements:
- no overvoltage/undervoltage
- Term.15R or 15 ON
The left and right exterior mirrors can be electrically adjusted via the switches in the switch train for exterior mirror adjustment with fold in/out function (S50/1) in the front left door control module (N69/1) (RHS vehicle: Front right door control module (N69/2)). The following settings are possible:
- Horizontal mirror glass adjustment
- Vertical mirror glass adjustment
- Mirror housing folding-in (garage position) and folding-out (driving position)
The adjustments are carried out by the motors in the left electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirror (M21/1) and the right electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirror (M21/2). The motors are actuated via the front left door control module (N69/1) and the front right door control module (N69/2).
The memory function (special equipment) can be used to call up stored mirror settings. Setting the parking position of the exterior mirror on the front passenger's side enables the driver to check the distance of the relevant rear wheel from the edge of the curb when reversing into a parking space.
Fold in left/right exterior mirror function
The left and right exterior mirror housings can be electrically folded in and out. Via the switches in the switch train for exterior mirror adjustment with fold in/out function (S50/1) in the front left door control module (N69/1) (RHS vehicle: Front right door control module (N69/2) ), the left/right exterior mirror housing can be moved to the garage position (mirror housings folded in) or the driving position (mirror housings folded out). The switch statuses of the switches for folding the exterior mirror in (S50/1s4) and the switches for folding the exterior mirror out (S50/1s5) are read in by the front left [[door control module]] (N69/1) (RHS vehicle: Front right door control module (N69/2)) inserted and placed onto the CAN as a message for the door control module on the front passenger's side.
The front left door control module (N69/1) and the front right door control module (N69/2) then actuate the motor for folding the mirror in (M21/1m3) and the motor for folding the mirror in (M21/2m3) in the left and right exterior mirror housings.
Up to 31.05.01 the fold in exterior mirror switch (S50/1s4) or the fold out exterior mirror switch (S50/1s5) must be actuated until the mirror housings are in the desired position.
As of 01.06.01 the fold in exterior mirror switch (S50/1s4) or the fold out exterior mirror switch (S50/1s5) merely have to be touched, and the mirror housings are automatically moved to the desired position.
Exterior rearview mirror adjustment switch
The switches for adjusting the exterior rearview mirrors are located in a separate assembly in the exterior mirror adjustment switch with mirror fold-in/out (S50/1) on the left front door control module (N69/1) (vehicles with right-hand steering : right front door control module (N69/2)).

The left exterior rearview mirror glass can be adjusted vertically and horizontally with the vertical mirror adjustment motor (up/down) (M21/1m1) and horizontal mirror adjustment motor (in/out) (M21/1m2) in the left electrically adjustable and heated exterior rearview mirror (M21/1). The right exterior rearview mirror glass can be adjusted vertically and horizontally with the vertical mirror adjustment motor (up/down) (M21/2m1) and horizontal mirror adjustment motor (in/out) (M21/2m2) in the right electrically adjustable and heated exterior rearview mirror (M21/2). The housing of the left/right exterior rearview mirror can be folded in (garage position) and out (driving position) with the mirror fold-in motors (M21/1m3)/(M21/2m3).
The motors are DC motors. Two potentiometers each are located on the motor shafts (M21/1m1)/(M21/2m1) and (M21/1m2)/(M21/2m2) for position recognition. The motors for outside rearview mirror (with fold-in/out feature) (M21/1m3)/(M21/2m3) are not equipped with a position recognition feature.
The motors turn to the left or right depending on the polarity of the actuating voltage. Actuation is accomplished by the left front door control module (N69/1)/right front door control module (N69/2).
Exterior rearview mirror position measurement function
A potentiometer for measuring the position is located on each of the shafts for the vertical mirror adjustment motors (up/down) (M21/1m1)/(M21/2m1) and horizontal mirror adjustment motors (in/out) (M21/1m2)/(M21/2m2) in the left and right exterior mirrors.

Function prerequisites:
- Voltage not too low or too high
- C.61 ON
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)).
Memory function
The settings for the left and right exterior mirrors, the interior rearview mirror and the steering column are also stored together with the driver's seat setting.
Up to 31.05.01

Calling up stored positions function
Calling up stored positions (driver, front passenger)
|
|
Function requirements:
- No overvoltage or undervoltage
- Term.15R or 15 ON
- Driver's door/front passenger's door open
- No button for manual seat adjustment, mirror adjustment or steering column adjustment pressed
- Normalization carried out properly
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.
Storing memory positions function
Function prerequisites:
- Circuit 15R or 15 ON
Together with the storage of the driver's seat position in addition the inside rearview mirror, the outside mirror as well as the steering column position are stored in the relevant control module key-related.
Memory locations up to 31.5.01. The positions of the driver's seat and front passenger's seat including the adjustments of the multicontour backrest (special equipment) can be stored on two memory locations.
Memory locations as of 1.6.01 The positions of the driver's seat and front passenger's seat including the adjustments of the multicontour backrest (special equipment) can be stored on three memory locations.
The positions are stored in the following control modules:
Driver side:
- Seat position: Left front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/1)
- Inside rearview mirror position: Overhead control panel control module (N70)
- Left outside mirror: Left front door control module (N69/1)
- Right outside mirror: Right front door control module (N69/2)
- Steering column position: Left front SAM control module (N10/6)
Passenger side:
- Seat position: Right front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/2)
Rear seats (model 220 with electrically adjustable individual rear seats only):
- Seat position: Rear seats control module (N25/6)
Up to 31.5.01 storing driver's seat position with associated mirror and steering column positions. The currently adjusted positions are stored by pressing the memory switch (N69/1s9) in the left front door control module (N69/1) and then within 3 seconds, the memory 1 switch (N69/1s6) or memory 2 switch (N69/1s7).
If at the same time no other switch in this switch group is pressed, the left front door control module (N69/1) sends a message to the CAN. The respective control modules receive this request for position storage and check whether valid values are supplied via local position measurements. If this is the case, the current positions are stored in the non-volatile memory.
Up to 31.5.01 storing front passenger's seat position. The currently adjusted front passenger's seat position is stored in the same way as the driver's seat position. It is triggered by pressing the memory switch (N69/2s9) in the right front door control module (N69/2) and then, within 3 seconds, memory 1 switch (N69/2s6) or memory 2 switch (N69/2s7)
Storing left rear seat position (model 220 with electrically adjustable individual rear seats only). The currently adjusted rear seat position is stored by pressing the memory switch (N69/3s10) in the left rear door control module (N69/3) and then memory switch 1 within 3 seconds (N69/3s3) or memory 2 switch (N69/3s4) or memory 3 switch (N69/3s5).
The storage process for the right rear side is analog to the left rear side. In the process the memory switch (N69/4s10) in the right rear door control module (N69/4) and memory 1 switch (N69/4s3) or memory 2 switch (N69/4s4) or memory 3 switch (N69/4s5) are used.
As of 1.6.01 revised storage process. There are two ways of storing the respective positions:
For the driver's side: a) If the memory switch (N69/1s9) is kept pressed and additionally one of the memory 1 switches (N69/1s6), memory 2 switches (N69/1s7); memory 3 switches (N69/1s15) is pressed for t>=40 ms, the storage process is thereby concluded.
b) Press the memory switch (N69/1s9) for t=>40 ms and then release again, then within t<3 seconds, press the desired memory location via memory 1 switch (N69/1s6); memory 2 switch (N69/1s7), memory 3 switch (N69/1s15) for t>=40 ms so that the storage process is concluded.
In order to avoid faults during storage it is necessary that the voltage supply is applied to the control module for a further five seconds at least.
If during the storage process no other switch from the switch group is pressed, the values are sent from the respective door control module to the relevant control modules via the CAN. These control modules check whether the local position measurement supplies valid values. If this is the case the current positions are stored in the non-volatile memory.
The storage process for the front passenger's side is analog to the driver's side. In the process the memory 1 switch (N69/2s6), memory 2 switch (N69/2s7), memory 3 switch (N69/2s15) and memory switch (N69/2s9) are used.
The driver's seat position (memory feature) is stored in the left front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/1) (vehicle with right hand steering (N32/2)) on a key-related basis.
The electronic ignition switch control module (N73) recognizes the inserted transmitter key (A8/1) and notifies the left front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/1) (vehicles with right hand steering: right front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/2)) which of the four memory blocks are to be activated via the CAN. One memory block consists of two memory areas. One complete seat position can be stored for each memory area. The memory area is selected via the memory 1 switch (N69/1s6)/memory 2 switch (N69/1s7) in the left front door control module (N69/1) (vehicle with right hand steering: Corresponding switches in the right front door control module (N69/2)).

Parking position for exterior rearview mirror on passenger side function
Moving the exterior rearview mirror on the passenger side to the parking position when reverse gear is engaged (illustrated on vehicle with left-hand steering)
|
|
Function prerequisites
- Voltage not too low or too high
- C.15 ON
- Reverse gear engaged
- Exterior mirror changeover left/right switch (S50/1s3) in passenger-side rearview mirror position
- Position measurement supplying valid values
Purpose of parking position. After the exterior rearview mirror on the passenger side has moved to the parking position the driver can observe the distance between the associated rear wheel and edge of the curb in the mirror when backing up to park the car.
Function. The right front door control module (N69/2) (vehicles with right-hand steering: left front door control module (N69/1) ) receives the CAN message "Reverse gear engaged", causing the exterior rearview mirror on the passenger side to be moved to the parking position stored for ignition/starter key in use.
One parking position can be stored in the right front door control module (N69/2) (vehicles with right-hand steering: left front door control module (N69/1)) per ignition/starter key.
Termination of function. The exterior rearview mirror is automatically moved back to the original position when:
- The transmission is shifted to a forward gear, after expiration of a time of approx. 10s
- or the vehicle speed increases to about 10 km/h or
- the exterior mirror changeover left/right switch (S50/1s3) in the exterior mirror adjustment switch with mirror fold-in/out feature (S50/1) on the left front door control module (N69/1) (vehicles with right-hand steering: right front door control module (N69/2)) has been actuated.
The mirror is also moved back to the original position even when it was adjusted manually in the parking position with the adjustment switch.
Storing parking position for exterior rearview mirror function
Function prerequisites:
- C. 15R or c.15 ON
- Vehicle speed v=0 km/h
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.
