Interior Mirror

INTERIOR MIRROR

DESCRIPTION

General
New Range Rover is fitted with an automatically dimming 'electrochromic' interior mirror. A light sensor, incorporated into the interior mirror, dims the mirror if it detects a light source behind the vehicle. The interior mirror also provides an output to both door mirrors, allowing dimming of all three rear view mirrors.

OPERATION

Power Distribution
Feed from the positive battery terminal (C0192) is supplied to fuse 43 and fuse 53 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0632) on an R wire. Fuse 43 (C0586) provides a constant battery feed to the interior mirror (C0698) on an RY wire.

Fuse 53 (C0583) provides a constant battery feed to the ignition switch (C0099 on Td6 vehicles, C0028 on V8 vehicles) on an R wire. When the ignition switch is turned to the 'ignition' position, current flows across the switch (C0099 on Td6 vehicles, C0028 on V8 vehicles) to fuse 6 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0585) on a G wire. Fuse 6 (C0587) provides an auxiliary ignition feed to the interior mirror (C0698) on a GW wire. The interior mirror (C0698) is earthed on an NB wire.

Automatic Dimming
When the light sensor incorporated in the interior mirror detects a light source from behind the vehicle, it automatically dims the interior mirror. When this happens, the interior mirror will also dim both the drivers and passenger door mirrors.

Drivers Door Mirror
The interior mirror (C0698) provides an output to the drivers door mirror (C2292) on WR then P and WU then B wires. When the drivers door mirror receives these feeds, it automatically dims. When the light source is removed from behind the vehicle, the feeds are removed and the drivers door mirror returns to normal brightness.

Passenger Door Mirror
The interior mirror (C0698) provides an output to the passenger door mirror (C2292) on WG then P and WY then B wires. When the passenger door mirror receives these feeds, it automatically dims. When the light source is removed from behind the vehicle, the feeds are removed and the passenger door mirror returns to normal brightness.

NOTE: The drivers and passenger door mirrors have the same connector number as they utilise the same harness.

Reverse Gear Inhibit
The automatic dimming function of the electrochromic interior mirror is inhibited if reverse gear is selected. The Light Check Module (LCM) (C2040) provides a 'reverse gear selected' signal to the interior mirror (C0698) on a UY wire.

Anti-theft Alarm LED
The anti-theft alarm LED is located on the interior mirror (C0698) and receives a signal from the BCU (C0661) on an SBY wire.
