Electrochromic door mirror (directly controlled by the electrochromic rear-view mirror, not by the door modules)

Horizontal and vertical adjustment of the door mirrors

It is possible to adjust the door mirrors from terminal R ON. Other conditions are: door module active (no sleep mode), consumer shutdown not active.

The door mirrors can be adjusted in the horizontal and the vertical from a button pad (4 arrows = 4 directions). The button pad is located in the switch block in the driver's door. A slide switch switches between the driver's side and the front-passenger side.

It is only possible to adjust the mirror in either the horizontal or the vertical at any one time. No diagonal adjustment is possible.

No adjustment is possible with the door mirrors folded in.

The door mirror is moved as far as the mechanical stop while the button pad is pressed down in a certain direction.

The adjustment time is limited to a maximum of 10 seconds to protect the motors and the mechanisms. Once the maximum adjustment time has elapsed, it is not possible to adjust the door mirrors for another 10 seconds.
