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:
