  Interior CAN 

  The signals are read in by the right front door control unit via the interior CAN.

  The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

  Evaluation of input factors 

  The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor and the relevant components are then actuated.

  Controlling function sequences 

  The right front door control unit controls the following function sequences:

  • Outside mirror adjustment
  • Blind spot assist indicator (with code (234) Blind spot assist)
  • Power window actuation
  • Front passenger door interior illumination
  • Central locking
  • Right additional door lock (with code (833) Great Britain version)

    Automatically dimming inside rearview mirror and outside mirror (driver))

  • Mirror adjustment up/down motor (M21/2m1)
  • Mirror adjustment up/out motor (M21/2m2)
  • Power folding mirror motor (M21/2m3)
  • Mirror heater (M21/2r1)

  Variants 

  • Power closing (with code (883) Power closing for doors and trunk lid)
  • Mirror dimming (with code (249) Inside rearview mirror and outside mirror (driver) automatic dipping)
  • Additional door lock (with code (833) Great Britain version)

  Thermal protection for right front power window motor:

  The right front door control unit calculates the actuation duration, operating voltage, rpm of the right front power window motor as well as the outside and inside temperature at the bearing points on the right front power window motor to protect the right front power window motor.

  After the calculated threshold temperature is reached, the right rear power window motor can only be actuated until the request is no longer present or the end position is reached.

  During automatic raising the direction is reversed when the overload protection force limitation is actuated.

  It is possible to reactuate the right front power window motor after a cooling phase calculated by the right front door control unit.
