Heated Mirrors - Description

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: LHD, Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) shown. RHD and Manual Temperature Control (MTC) similar.





When equipped, the heated mirror system operates in concert with the rear window defogger (EBL) system and is operated by the rear window defogger switch (1) in the A/C-heater control (2), located in the instrument panel center bezel. An amber indicator lamp (3) in the rear window defogger switch illuminates when the EBL system is on.

NOTE: The EBL system turns off automatically after ten minutes of initial operation. Each following activation cycle of the EBL system will last five minutes.

The EB system will be automatically turned off after an initial programmed time interval of about ten minutes as long as the ignition switch is in the Run position. After the initial time interval has expired, if the rear window defogger switch is pressed on again during the same ignition cycle, the system will automatically turn off after about five minutes. The EBL system will also turn off if the ignition switch is turned to any position other than Run, or by manually pressing the rear window defogger switch a second time.

Circuit protection for the heated mirror system is provided by a fuse located in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).
