Function
The interior rearview mirror unit (A67) can be dimmed electrochromatically.
For this purpose, a layer of electrolyte gel is located in the mirror
glass between the reflector and the cover lens.
Voltage connected to the gel modifies its permeability to light.
The light reaching the surface of the mirror is reflected to a greater
or lesser extent due to the magnitude of the actuating voltage.
The actuating voltage is controlled by the electronic circuitry in the
interior rearview mirror.
This procedure is subject to the ambient light and the light reaching the mirror.
These two input variables are sensed by the ambient light sensor (A67h2)
in the mirror housing (rear side) and the automatic dimming interior
rearview mirror sensor (A67h1) in the mirror glass of the interior rearview
mirror unit (A67).
If an interior light is switched on or the reverse gear (CAN
message) is engaged, the interior rearview mirror is always
switched to a brighter setting.This is accomplished by an additional
signal lead from the overhead control panel control module
(N70) to the interior rearview mirror unit (A67) .
The interior rearview mirror unit (A67) serves also as master
for the automatic dimming exterior rearview mirror (driver's side).
<!-- GF68.49-P-0003S, Automatic dimming interior rearview mirror, function -->
The ambient lamp (A67e3) is a bright LED located in the interior
rear view mirror (A67). It serves for illumination of the center
console.
Switching ambient lamp on/off
The ambient lamp is switched on automatically when c.15r
switched on and switched off automatically when c.15r is
switched off.
Control
The ambient lamp (A67e3) is controlled directly by the overhead
control panel control module (N70). The overhead control panel
control module (N70) receives the information "Status c.15r" for
this purpose via the CAN bus from the electronic ignition/starter
switch control module (N73).
The ambient lamp is independent of the automatic light
switch daylight sensor (B32/1) and the position of the door
contact ON and OFF switch (N70s3).

Function
The mirror glass in the exterior rearview mirror on the driver's side
can be dimmed electro-chromatically. For this purpose a layer of
electrolytic gel is located in the mirror glass between the reflector
and cover glass. When a voltage is supplied to this gel it changes
its permeability to light.
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.

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).

The inside rearview mirror (A67) can be adjusted automatically with the memory function (depending on equipment), i.e. stored mirror position can be called upFor this purpose, two DC motors, a vertical adjustment motor (A67m1) and a horizontal adjustment motor (A67m2) are present in the housing actuated by the overhead control panel control module (N70). The vertical position potentiometer (A67r1) and horizontal position potentiometer (A67r2) are located next to the motors for position recognition. The mirror lens of the inside rearview mirror (A67) can be electrochromatically dimmed. Dimming is accomplished according to the variables measured by the mirror dimming forward sensor (A67h1) and mirror dimming backward sensor (A67h2). The left reading lamp (A67e1) and right reading lamp (A67e2) as well as the ambient light (A67e3) are also integrated in the mirror housing.

Additional functions on vehicles as of 1.9.03 with telephone or with telephone and voice control system (VCS): A hands-free system microphone group (A67b1) is integrated in the inside rearview mirror (A67). The following functions can be performed via the hands-free system microphone group (A67b1):

  • Voice input for making telephone calls using the hands-free system
  • Voice input for voice control system (VCS) (interactive dialog with VCS)

The signals are transmitted to the hands-free system control module (A35/1) or the voice control module (A35/11) via the hands-free system microphone group (A67b1).


Function prerequisites

  • No voltage or voltage too low
  • C. 15R or C. 15 ON

Function The interior rearview mirror unit (A67) can be dimmed electrochromatically. For this purpose, a layer of electrolyte gel is located in the mirror glass between the reflector and the cover lens. Voltage connected to the gel modifies its permeability to light. The light reaching the surface of the mirror is reflected to a greater or lesser extent due to the magnitude of the actuating voltage. The actuating voltage is controlled by the electronic circuitry in the interior rearview mirror. This procedure is subject to the ambient light and the light reaching the mirror.

These two input variables are sensed by the ambient light sensor (A67h2) in the mirror housing (rear side) and the automatic dimming interior rearview mirror sensor (A67h1) in the mirror glass of the interior rearview mirror unit (A67).

If an interior light is switched on or the reverse gear (CAN message) is engaged, the interior rearview mirror is always switched to a brighter setting.This is accomplished by an additional signal lead from the overhead control panel control module (N70) to the interior rearview mirror unit (A67) .

The interior rearview mirror unit (A67) serves also as master for the automatic dimming exterior rearview mirror (driver's side).


The ambient lamp (A67e3) is a bright LED located in the interior rear view mirror (A67). It serves for illumination of the center console. Switching ambient lamp on/off The ambient lamp is switched on automatically when c.15r switched on and switched off automatically when c.15r is switched off.

Control The ambient lamp (A67e3) is controlled directly by the overhead control panel control module (N70). The overhead control panel control module (N70) receives the information "Status c.15r" for this purpose via the CAN bus from the electronic ignition/starter switch control module (N73).

The ambient lamp is independent of the automatic light switch daylight sensor (B32/1) and the position of the door contact ON and OFF switch (N70s3).

Function The mirror glass in the exterior rearview mirror on the driver's side can be dimmed electro-chromatically. For this purpose a layer of electrolytic gel is located in the mirror glass between the reflector and cover glass. When a voltage is supplied to this gel it changes its permeability to light. 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.
