Function
The inside rearview mirror unit (A67) and the left electrically adjustable and heated outside mirror (M21/1) can be dimmed electro chromatically.This is realized by a layer of electrolyte gel in the corresponding mirror, actuating the light transparency in stages depending on the voltage applied.The electronic circuitry in the inside rearview mirror (A67) senses the ambient light with the automatic dimming mirror sensor, forward(A67h1) and the light hitting the surface of the mirror via the automatic dimming mirror sensor, rearward (A67h2).

The inside rearview mirror unit (A67) evaluates the input variables and sends dimming information to the overhead control panel control module (N70), which transmits the message for the automatic dimming mirror to the CAN B (CAN B).
The left front door control module (N69/1) relays the dimming information and supplies the corresponding actuation voltage to the automatic dimming mirror (M21/1h1) of the left electrically adjustable and heated outside mirror (M21/1). The dimming information from the inside rearview mirror unit (A67) is taken over by the overhead control panel control module (N70), which supplies voltage to the automatic dimming mirror (A67h3).

If an interior light is switched on during automatic dimming mirror or the reverse gear is engaged, dimming is stopped.
