Manual folding-in/out 

Function prerequisites 

Function 

The left electrically adjustable and headed outside mirror (M21/1) and right electrically adjustable and heated outside mirror (M21/2) can be folded in manually (garage position) and folded out (driving position) via the outside mirror fold-in/out switch (N72s19)

The switching states of the outside mirror fold-in/out switch (N72s19) are evaluated by the bottom overhead control panel control module (N72) and relayed to the left door control module (N69/1) and right door control module (N69/2)) via the CAN class B bus.

The left door control module (N69/1) controls the mirror fold-in motor (M21/1m3) for the driver side in the left electrically adjustable and heated outside mirror (M21/1).

The right door control module (N69/2) controls the mirror fold-in motor (M21/2m3) for the passenger side in the right electrically adjustable and heated outside mirror (M21/2).

IMPORTANT The instrument cluster (A1) transmits a CAN message at a speed of > 100 km/h to the left door control module (N69/1) and right door control module (N69/2) whereby it is no longer possible to fold in the mirror.

Automatic fold-in/out 

Function requirements 

Function 

When the vehicle is locked from outside the left electrically adjustable and headed outside mirror (M21/1) and the right electrically adjustable heated outside mirror (M21/2) is automatically folded in (garage position).

When the driver/passenger door is opened again they are folded out to the previous position (driving position).

IMPORTANT The automatic fold-in/out feature can always be interrupted by actuating the outside mirror switch or the outside mirror fold-in/out switch (N72s19).
