Exterior Mirrors: Introduction

Electric exterior mirrors are fitted as standard to the driver's and front-passenger door.

The exterior mirrors are adjusted centrally at the switch block in the driver's door. The switch block is connected to the LIN bus.

The following optional extras are available:

The driver's mirror memory is controlled by the driver's seat module (SMFA).

The exterior mirrors are actuated by the driver's door module (TMFA) and by the front-passenger door module (TMBF). The door modules communicate with each other on the byteflight.

The door modules and the byteflight are discontinued. The body gateway module (KGM) actuates the exterior mirrors.

In the basic equipment specification, the exterior mirrors are electrically adjusted and heated.

With the special equipment listed above, the exterior mirrors are connected to the body gateway module (KGM) via the LIN bus.

The electrochromic interior mirror is likewise connected to the KGM.
