3360837 - E3030 HEATED REAR WINDSCREEN AND DOOR MIRROR DEFROSTING - Description (Right hand drive)
Description
In the case of poor visibility, it is possible to activate demisting of the rear window, door mirrors and windscreen washer nozzles.The heating resistances for these components absorb a considerable amount of energy and they are therefore checked and deactivated after a certain period: the defrosting is timed, according to the following logic, managed by the Body Computer:
- ignition ON (INT/A);
- activation signal from the relevant button, located on the climate control system control panel.
The power supply is also cut off under the following conditions:
- ignition in OFF position
- deactivation signal from the relevant button;
- battery voltage below 8.5 V
- after the first 10 minutes operation, if the engine speed is below 1000 rpm.
Description
The warning light is located on the climate control unit and is connected to the Body Computer via the CAN network.The climate control system ECU strategy is also operational in the following situations:
- 'MAX-DEF' command from the climate control: the defrosting function is activated using the logic described previously (deactivating the MAX-DEF control only causes the heated rear windscreen to be switched off if the command to turn it on came from the MAX-DEF; if, on the other hand, the command came from the heated rear windscreen button, it remains on;
- automatic defrosting at low outside temperatures: the heated rear windscreen is switched on automatically if the outside temperature, detected by the climate control system control unit via the special sensor, is below 3 °C.
