Heating the mirrors




Heating of mirrors is activated at the same time as heating of rear window.
When switch electrically heated rear window/rearview mirrors is pressed in the climate control module (CCM) (4/6) activates heating of the rear window. At the same time, the signal is sent on via the CAN-net to driver door module (DDM) (3/126) and passenger door module (PDM) (3/127), for activation of rearview mirror heating.
When driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) receive the signal, the outputs for heating of each rearview mirror (6/62 and 6/63) are supplied with voltage.
Heating then pulses with 4 minutes activated and 2 minutes deactivated until the function is turned off.
The function is turned off at the same time as heating of the rear window is turned off, which can be done in three ways:
- If the switch for heated rear window/door mirrors is pressed again after activation, the function is switched off, using a signal from the climate control module (CCM)
- Heating is also turned off automatically approx. 12 minutes after activation if the outdoor temperature is above or equal to +7 °C. Driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) then receive a signal from climate control module (CCM) requesting deactivation of the function.
- The heating is also switched off if the ignition is switched off.
