Technical Description:
Side mirrors are used to help the driver to see areas behind and to the sides of the vehicle which are outside of the driver's peripheral vision ("blind spot").
The outside mirrors are operated by means of the touch display (HMI).
The mirror functions are controlled by the BCM.
The MFS communicates with the BCM via the LIN bus of the gateway (XGW).
The display signal for blind spot recognition is received from the ADAS control unit via the XGW.
The outside mirrors have the following functions:
- Blind spot recognition
- LED turn signals
- Side camera for 360-degree view
- Ambient temperature sensor (left-hand outside mirror only)
- Automatic dimming (only VFe35 Plus)
