Model All (CAR)
Overview
This document contains information on:
- General
- Function requirements
- Function
The function "Folding in/out" is available either as special equipment with code 500 (Electric folding sideview mirror) or with code P49 (MIRROR PACKAGE).
In model 223, the function is available as standard.
General
The sideview mirrors can each be folded in and out via an electric motor.
This function offers the following advantages:
- The risk of damage to a parked vehicle is reduced.
- The vehicle's space requirement in narrow garages and passages can be reduced.
Function requirements
- Function activated via the multimedia system (automatic folding in/out).
- Circuit 15R ON (fold down via the switch for folding sideview mirrors in/down).
- Circuit 15 On (fold down via the switch for folding sideview mirrors in/down).
Function
The electric motors can be actuated via the sideview mirror fold in/out switch or automatically.
With each request, both sideview mirrors are folded in or down. The electric motors are actuated in this connection for 5 s in the corresponding direction.
A new request reverses an already active actuation.
To ensure that the sideview mirrors are folded down securely, the electric motors are actuated for 1 s when a speed of 47 km/h is exceeded.
Outside mirrors that are folded in are folded down automatically under the following conditions:
- When the vehicle is unlocked and the driver's door is subsequently opened
- When circuit 15R is ON
Outside mirrors that are folded down are folded in automatically when the vehicle is locked.
Via the sideview mirror fold in/out switch, the sideview mirrors can be manually folded in/out.
As from a speed of 47 km/h, the sideview mirrors can no longer be folded in.
