Model 205, 253 

with code 500 (Electrically Folding Exterior Mirrors) 

Function requirements, general 

• No overvoltage or undervoltage

Left/right folding side view mirror, general 

The left side view mirror (M211) and right side view mirror (M212) can be folded in and out electrically. This can be done both automatically as well as manually. The left front door control unit (N69/1) has the master function during adjustment and sends corresponding requests to the right front door control unit (N69/2) via interior CAN (CAN-B).

If a new adjustment request is recognized while adjustment is in progress, the active adjustment is directly switched to the opposite direction.

The left/right side view mirror comprises the following partial functions:

• Function sequence for manual folding in/out 
• Automatic folding in/out, function sequence 
• Function sequence for automatic fold-out via speed signal 

Function sequence for manual folding in/out 

The partial function manual fold-in/out comprises the following subfunctions:

• Manual folding in function sequence 
• Manual folding out function sequence 

Additional function requirements for manually folding in 

• Outside mirror folded out
• Terminal 15 ON
• Vehicle speed v < 47 km/h

The electronic ignition lock control unit (N73) sends the status of circuit 15 to left front door control unit via interior CAN.

The instrument cluster (A1) sends the vehicle speed via user interface CAN (CAN HMI), electronic ignition lock control unit and interior CAN to the left front door control unit.

Manual folding in function sequence 

By pressing the side view mirror fold in/out switch (S20s6) in the driver power window and side view mirrors adjustment switch group (S20), the two side view mirror housings can be folded in (garage position).

The left front door control unit reads in the status of the side view mirror fold-in/out switch via the left door LIN (LIN B5), actuates the side view mirror fold-in/out electric motor (M21/1 m3) in the left side view mirror and transmits the request "Fold in right side view mirror" to the right front door control unit via the interior CAN. The right door control unit then actuates the side view mirror fold-in/out electric motor (M21/2m3) in the right side view mirror. The actuation duration is t = 5 s.

After exceeding a speed of v > 47 km/h is no longer possible to fold in the side view mirrors.

Additional function requirements for manual fold-out 

• Outside mirror folded in
• Circuit 15R ON

The electronic ignition lock control unit sends the status of circuit 15 to left front door control unit via the interior CAN.

Manual folding out function sequence 

Both side view mirrors are folded to the driving position when the side view mirror fold-in/out switch is actuated.

The left front door control unit reads in the status of the side view mirror fold-in/out switch via the left front door LIN, actuates the side view mirror fold-in/out electric motor in the left side view mirror and transmits the request "Fold out right side view mirror" to the right front door control unit via the interior CAN. The right front door control unit then actuates the side view mirror fold-in/out electric motor in the right side view mirror. The actuation duration is t = 5 s.

Additional function requirements for automatic fold-in/out 

• Function activated in head unit (A26/17)

The head unit sends the status of the fold-in/out side view mirror function via user interface CAN, electronic ignition lock control unit and interior CAN to the left front door control unit.

Automatic folding in/out, function sequence 

The automatic folding in/out function comprises the following subfunctions:

• Automatic folding in function sequence 
• Automatic folding out function sequence 

Additional function requirements for automatic folding in 

• Outside mirror folded out
• Circuit 15C OFF

The electronic ignition lock control unit transmits the circuit status of circuit 15C to the left front door control unit via the interior CAN.

Automatic folding in function sequence 

When the vehicle is locked from the outside with the central locking (CL [ZV]), both side view mirrors are folded in automatically (garage position).

The electronic ignition lock control unit sends the status of the central locking to the left door control unit via the interior CAN. The left front door control unit actuates the side view mirror fold-in/out electric motor in the left side view mirror and transmits the request "Fold in right side view mirror" to the right front door control unit via the interior CAN. The right front door control unit actuates the side view mirror fold-in/out electric motor () in the right side view mirror. The actuation duration is t = 5 s.

Additional function requirements for automatic folding out 

• Outside mirror folded in
• CL locked

Automatic folding out function sequence 

When the vehicle is unlocked via the CL and then the driver door opened or when switched circuit 15, both side view mirrors are folded out automatically to the driving position.

The electronic ignition lock control unit sends the status of the central locking to the left door control unit via the interior CAN. Opening the driver door is detected by the left front door rotary tumbler switch (A85s1) in the left front door lock (A85). The left front door control unit directly reads in the status of the left front door rotary tumbler switch.

The left front door control unit actuates the side view mirror fold-in/out electric motor in the left side view mirror and transmits the request "Fold out right side view mirror" to the right front door control unit via the interior CAN. The right front door control unit then actuates the side view mirror fold-in/out electric motor in the right side view mirror. The actuation duration is t = 5 s.

If the side view mirrors are still folded in with circuit 15R ON by a previous automatic folding-in procedure, the mirror housings are folded out immediately.

Additional function requirements for automatic fold-out via speed signal 

• Outside mirror folded in
• Status of circuit 15C changes to circuit 15 On

The electronic ignition lock control unit transmits the circuit status of circuit 15C to the left front door control unit via the interior CAN.

Function sequence for automatic fold-out via speed signal 

If the vehicle speed is v > 47 km/h, the side view mirrors are folded out automatically.

The instrument cluster sends the vehicle speed to the left front door control unit via user interface CAN, electronic ignition lock control unit and interior CAN. The left front door control unit actuates the side view mirror fold-in/out electric motor in the left side view mirror and transmits the request "Fold out right side view mirror" to the right front door control unit via the interior CAN. The right front door control unit then actuates the side view mirror fold-in/out electric motor in the right side view mirror.

The actuation duration is t = 5 s.

After exceeding a speed of v > 47 km/h is no longer possible to fold in the side view mirrors.
