Mirrors Control Unit (Comfort unit)


Any driver is often faced with the problem when reversing, when you need to see the rear wheel so as not to collide with an obstacle, such as curbs or shallow footings. In this case, you have to manually adjust the mirrors, and after parking the back of their set, which takes a lot of time and attention. Because of this, many drivers parked "blind" not to 

"shoot down" the mirrors and put themselves at risk of an accident. Using the our "PILOT" unit driver spared from this problem and can easily park your car.

Unit "PILOT " lowering mirrors  (hereinafter referred to simply block) is designed to facilitate reversing the vehicle at the parking lot by changing the viewing angle side mirrors and automatic return them when reverse gear is disengaged .

    The unit allows you to:

- Random ( on two axes ) for each mirror ( left / right ) to program the mirrors parking lot ;

- At the user manually set to the programmed position and return to the place of mirrors ;

- Automatically when reverse gear install mirrors in the programmed position ( this feature can be turned off);

- Mirrors automatically return to its original position when reverse gear is disengaged , and return the mirror to its original position in the case of manual adjustment or positioning mode parking;

Keep track of mirrors and jamming signal this;

Using the unit

Working with the established unit is made using regular buttons joystick control mirrors. In this command, the power supply is used command buttons - "average" position selector switch mirrors the "left / right " buttons and joystick , depending on the design . There are two options : either you have one command button (usually down) or two (usually up and down). To determine which mode to use in your car , see the device initialization . Management of mirrors in the normal mode at the selected left or right mirror.


To use the unit only need to program the mirrors in the parking mode , after which the unit will begin to carry out their functions .

Ability to work in automatic , semi-automatic or manual mode . Semi-automatic mode of operation / machine is selected in the initial programming of the unit during installation , manual mode is always there.

In the automatic mode, each time you select reverse gear mirror occupy the programmed position and automatically returns to its original position after turning off the transmission .

In semi-automatic mode, the driver can decide when you want to change the position of the mirrors and clicks a command button on the joystick ( joystick with two buttons : the button down) - mirrors occupy the programmed position and return to the starting off after the transfer. Since it is not always necessary to change the review mirror when parking , the semi-automatic mode is the most convenient.

Also, the driver can at any time put a mirror in the park position and return back using command buttons in manual mode ( joystick with two buttons : the button down - parking mode , the button up - reset ; joystick with a single click : every key command button - switch to the parking lot, then return).

If the parking mode, it took you to adjust the position of the mirror , you can do it in the usual way by changing the joystick on the corresponding mirror , and the unit will remember your corrections , and when leaving the parking mirror will return to its original position after adjustment . This feature can be useful as follows : the most frequently change the visibility required for the right mirror , so you can program the parking mode for only one right-side mirror . Thus , if at the time it took you to change the parking review and left-side mirror , then change it to normally . When you exit the parking lot to the original position to return both mirrors .

The unit saves the state when power mirrors . So, if you shut down the engine in park mode , then after power mirrors return to the starting position in 10 seconds , while you will hear a short beep . Note that the power off while driving mirror does not allow the unit to track their position after switching , so the mirror should be set to the original position manually.

Service function block is keeping track of motor mirrors. Thus , if the mirror jammed , the control unit immediately switches off the mirror motors , and outputs an error alarm sound three short beeps ( overcurrent ) or a siren (no engine rotation signal ) depending on the type of fault . After that, the block resets the current mode of operation , so you may need a manual adjustment of the mirrors in the event of an error .


Programming the mirror for the parking

This operation can be carried out repeatedly , and does not require access to the unit. All settings are saved when the power is turned off .

Before use, set the two mirrors in the usual (home) position you for a ride !

1. Mirror select switch in the middle position .

Long- press the Action button ( joystick with two command buttons : button up) , we hear a short beep and hold another 3 seconds before the three long beeps - confirmation that entered the programming mode.

2 . Mirror select switch , select the left ( or right) mirror. Arrange the required position of the mirror when parking.

3 . Choose a mirror opposite of claim 2 , exhibiting the desired position when parking.

4 . Mirror select switch in the middle position , press briefly the same command button , as in claim 1 . - Mirrors return to their original position. In this case , you should hear a beep and a three - tone .

    Education parking situation is over.


* If there is no need to lower one of the mirrors , it does not change its position.

** To achieve greater accuracy, try to adjust the mirrors for one press in each direction.

*** If in programming mode no key is pressed for a long time ( more than 30 seconds ) , the unit will exit the programming mode without saving the parking position .






Calibration accuracy of the mirrors

If you use multiple modes parking Have you noticed that the mirrors do not return to its original position , but always go back to any of the parties , and you occasionally have to manually adjust the normal position of the mirrors , it is possible to achieve a more accurate positioning of the mirrors with the entry of the amendment.

1. Mirror select switch in the middle position .

Long- press the Action button ( joystick with two command buttons : button up) , we hear a short beep and hold another 3 seconds before the three long beeps - confirmation that entered the programming mode of the mirrors when parking.

2 . Repeat step 1. - Hear two short beeps , and one two -tone - I have entered the amendment.

3 . Mirror select switch to choose the mirror you want to enter ( change) amendment. Push the button in the direction in which you want to add an amendment . For example, if the mirror all the time " goes " up, then press down . One press of a button - one unit of the amendment. Over time you can add / remove several pieces of the amendment.

4 . Repeat Claim 3 to the opposite mirror if necessary.

5 . Mirror select switch in the middle position . Briefly press the same button command , as in claim 1 . - Hear one short beep and two two - tone . The amendment is preserved.

6. If you need to reset the amendment, the mirror select switch in the middle position and long- press the same button command , which in claim 1. - Hear a beep , and after about 3 seconds - three two - tone signal. Corrections in all directions for all the mirrors are removed.

Next, check the operation of mirrors , if the result is not - increase or decrease the correction , repeating the procedure from step 1.


installation

The control unit mirrors though is universal, but do not always have the opportunity to use it. Therefore, before purchasing / installing this unit must be read with the scheme "joystick" control mirror of your car:

1. In the standard control scheme mirrors should not be electronic components, ie simple mechanical buttons which a voltage is applied directly to the mirror.

2. Connection diagram motor mirrors must contain 5 wires going to the control buttons.

3. The left and right mirror should be regulated separately and mirror selection switch left / right must have an average position in which not a single mirror is not controlled.

The device is mounted in the gap of wires coming from the buttons to the engine and the mirrors can be placed next to the buttons control the door mirrors (driver's door or by a torpedo near the buttons).

     All connections must be made by soldering and

properly insulated.

installation procedure

1. Determine the lead-in wire +12 V and (+), as well as the reverse lamp wire.

2. Turning off the power of mirrors (better to turn off the battery completely, if you are sure of your actions, even if you turn off the ignition).

3. Cut the wires coming from the buttons to the mirrors and power wires.

If the vehicle is equipped with a folding mirrors, the power wire is not cut and solder the appropriate wires from both connectors unit directly to them.

4. We clean and solder the wires to the terminals of the unit. Connector of 7 contacts (this input) connect to the wire buttons, 8-pin (it out) to the wire mirrors and wires wiring a car of the same color are connected to the pins of the connectors with the same numbers.

When power is connected with the correct polarity. 

  1. Check the correctness of installation:

Initialize device (first time programming)

Initialization operation is carried out only once during the installation phase of the block and is used to configure the unit for use with a particular car, and to select special modes of operation. All settings are saved when power is turned off.

Before starting initialization is recommended to fully familiarize yourself with the section, as changing modes require repetition of the initialization process.

Log in initialization mode is able to activate the device when the switch SW1 set to ON. In this case, switches SW2 and SW3 are changing their destination of choice for special work, so before starting initialization require the installation of appropriate values​​.

In the unit built intelligent protection against "jamming" mirrors. However, because of the universality of the block and the different types of engines have different brands of auto-mobiles can give false signals errors. To switch off the protection flip the switch SW2 to ON before starting the initialization process!

In addition, there is another problem of choice: a way to track the position of the mirrors. Initially the unit was designed to work on the momentum from the engines, but there are models of cars, for example, Hyundai, in which: in engines mirrors mounted filters, blanking pulses from the engine and prevent the unit to operate in this mode. Therefore, there is a mode position tracking mirror over time. This mode has a lower accuracy than the momentum and may require calibration of the mirrors (see the calibration accuracy of the mirrors). Switching between operation mode and the momentum of the time by means of the switch SW3 before initialization.

The main stage is the initialization of the programming buttons . Because of the design features of different cars joystick control unit command buttons will be different. At the moment there are two types Joystick: initially closed with a wire in the middle position the mirror select switch (for example , Hyundai) and fully open ( for example , Mitsubishi and Chevrolet). In the first case is only one command button , in the second - two , so the programming mode will be slightly different .

1. Be sure to install the mirror select switch in the middle position .

2 . Turning off the power (ignition ) switch is 1 to ON ( do not forget about the other two switches ) , turn on the power (ignition ) .

Should hear the beep :

- Three short beeps - the unit detects the presence of the joystick type 1 was initially closed with buttons. - Three long beeps - the unit detects the presence of the joystick type-2 with fully -open button - there are 2 command buttons ;

3 . Mirror select switch is in the middle

position.

3.1 For the joystick type 1 miss this item ! Push the button up and hold until you hear a

signal , release .

    3.2 Push the button down and hold until you hear a

signal , release .

WARNING ! If you press No response try to press the left / right.

4 . Mirror select switch in the position of the left mirror.

    4.1 Push the button up and hold until you hear a

4.4 Push the button to the right and hold until beep , release .

5 . Mirror select switch set to the right mirror .

Repeat the sequence of section 4.1 - 4.4.

6. At the end of the learning process will be issued to the successful completion of the initialization signal . Check the correct operation of the mirror as usual : the left and right - to move according to press the buttons.

Next, you must turn off the ignition , turn the switch SW1 in the OFF position and set up SW2, SW3 ( see Selecting the work ) .

* In carrying out paragraphs 3 and 4 of the mirror does not move

should!

  • Pressing the previously programmed keys will be issued to the error signal in the form of a siren , the procedure is necessary to repeat again from step 1. - Moving the mirror select switch in the middle position, turn off and turn on the ignition.

Peugeot RCZ View Top: It’s an RCZ with a Venetian blind for a roof

Sun, 03 Mar 2013

Magna Steyr is showcasing its technology with the Peugeot RCZ View Top Concept featuring a roof made of folding glass panels. The USP of the RCZ is its Zagato-esque double-bubble glass roof, a daring (and expensive)  design feature for a modestly priced production car. But what the double-bubble roof does is give a little bit of extra headroom in the back of the RCZ which makes it just about useable for vertically challenged passengers.

Hyundai i10 Electric introduced

Fri, 04 Sep 2009

The all electric Hyundai i10 will show at Frankfurt (click for bigger image) This is a bit of a surprise from Hyundai, as they’d always said they would concentrate on hybrids until hydrogen fuel cell technology was advanced enough to make it viable in a budget car. But Hyundai are being pragmatic. There is a desire from the public for all electric cars – however misplaced that may be – and Hyundai aren’t going to be left out.
