POWER MIRROR CONTROL SYSTEM (w/o Memory) DESCRIPTION
1. This system has the following functions: electrical remote control mirror function, mirror heater function and automatic glare-resistant EC mirror function*.
  1. *: w/ EC Mirror

FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT

Component		Function
Outer rear view mirror assembly	Vertical mirror motor	Moves the mirror surface vertically in accordance with the multiplex network master switch assembly operation (up or down).
	Horizontal mirror motor	Moves the mirror surface horizontally in accordance with the multiplex network master switch assembly operation (right or left).
	Mirror heater	When the mirror heater switch (rear window defogger switch) on the air conditioning control assembly is operated, the air conditioning amplifier assembly detects the switch operation via LIN communication. The air conditioning amplifier assembly operates the semiconductor pwr integration ECU and mirror heaters in accordance with the switch operation.
	EC mirror cell*	Varies the reflection rate of the mirror through function of EC elements.
Multiplex network master switch assembly	Mirror select switch	Consists of individual R and L switches. One must be on to operate the multiplex network master switch assembly.
Multiplex network master switch assembly	Mirror adjust switch	Mirror R and L signals are sent to each outer mirror control ECU assembly from the mirror select switch. After turning the mirror select switch R or L switch on, the right, left, up and down control switches can be operated to change the angle of the mirror.

SYSTEM OPERATION

The power mirror control system (w/o Memory) has the following features:

Function	Outline
Electrical remote control mirror function	When the outer mirror switch on the multiplex network master switch assembly is operated, this function moves the mirror surface vertically or horizontally to enable the driver to attain an optimal mirror angle. Pressing the mirror select switch R switch operates the right side mirror, and pressing the mirror select switch L switch operates the left side mirror.
Mirror heater function	Turns on the mirror heaters when the rear window defogger is turned on. The rear window defogger and mirror heaters automatically turn off 15 minutes after the rear window defogger and mirror heaters were activated. The rear window defogger and mirror heaters continue to operate up to an additional 45 minutes if the following conditions are met. The outside temperature is -3°C (27°F) or lower. The vehicle speed is 45 km/h (28 mph) or higher.
Automatic glare-resistant EC mirror function*	Reduces glare/reflection in the mirror during nighttime driving for safer driving conditions. Glare/reflection from vehicle headlights behind could blind the driver and cause dangerous driving conditions.
