Operation

General
The mirror can be controlled When the remote key insert the
ignition or the engine start. However, the mirror heater are
only active when the engine is running.
Mirror Select
Two mirror select switches are provided to select either
the LH or RH mirror for adjustment. When a selection
is made, the momentary switch operates a contact and
completes a circuit. The DDSP senses the switch operation
and electronically latches the selection. The LED on the side
of the switch illuminates to show which mirror is selected.
Mirror Adjust
Mirror adjustment is achieved by pressing the appropriate part
of the circular four-way rocker switch on the DDSP for the
direction of adjustment required. When the switch is pressed,
the applicable contacts on the rubber membrane mat complete
a circuit on the PCB. The adjustment switch is designed so that
only one motor can operate any one time.
A power supply, via fuse 45 in the BCM when the handset is
docked, passes through the switch contacts in the DDSP. The
DDSP directs the power supply to the applicable motor. The
motor will operate for as long as the switch is operated. If the
mirror swash plate reaches the full extent of its travel on that
axis and the switch is still operated, a clutch on the motor
mechanism will slip to protect the motor from overload.
Clutch operation is signified by an audible clicking sound.
When the switch is released, the motor will stop immediately.
Mirror Heaters
The mirror heaters are active at all times when the rear
windscreen is heated. Power is supplied to the mirror heaters
via fuse 5 in the BCM and is connected directly to the mirror
heater elements.
