15.4 DRIVER ERGONOMICS
15.4.1 System Description
Adjustment of the seats, steering column and exterior rear view mirrors position is effected by means of control
switches. The switches maintain the adjustment facility while depressed, movement ceasing when the switch is re- leased.
Manual adjustment can be achieved either with the ignition key in place or with the driver‘s door open, or having been
closed within the last
30 seconds.
The system offers the following facilities:
Entry
/ Exit mode; an automatic seat /column position setting for ease of driver entry into / exit from the vehicle.
Driving position set; automatic recall of up to three preferred settings.
Passenger seat set; automatic recall of up to three preferred settings.
Remote recall; automatic recall of up to two memory positions from
a remote transmitter (in key fob).
Reverse mirror dip; automatic adjustment of passenger rear view mirror when reversing.
U: Vehicles intended for the Japanese market are fitted with an additional ‘fold away’ mirror function. This func- tion allows mirrors to fold flat against the car when parking in enclosed areas.
15.4.1.1 Entry/ Exit Mode
Entry / Exit mode is designed to give easier vehicle entry and exit for the driver. The facility is selected by positioning
the mode switch, located on the LH side of the column cowl, to ‘auto’ which designates the current seat / column posi- tion, ie driving positions, as the memorized position. On removal of ignition key or opening of driver‘s door, with igni- tion key still in place, the driver’s seat will move to the rear (current position allowing) and the column will adopt ‘tilt
away’ mode automatically creating additional space for driver exit
/ entry. Insertion of key in ignition or closure of
driver‘s door (with ignition key in place) returns seat / column positions to the memorized (previous) position.
Operation of eitherthe brake pedal or
seat/column manual controls during entry/exit mode execution will abort posi- tional adjustments. Setting the mode switch to OFF disables operation of entry / exit mode.
15.4.1.2 Driving Position Set
Setting of seat, column and external rear view mirrors to preferred driving position is available using the memory but- tons located on the drivers door switch pack. With the ignition key in place enter settings to be memorized as follows:
Adjust seat, column and mirrors to desired positions.
Press the ’memory’ button
so that it becomes illuminated.
Press button
1,2 or 3 to store configuration within four seconds of memory button operation. Memory light will extin- guish and a chime will sound, indicating procedure complete.
The above procedure may be repeated two more times until each button
(1,2 & 3) has a preferred position stored in
memory, accommodating different driver settings. Operation of any push-button (1,2 or 3) will re-position seat col-
umn and mirrors to the stored settings.
Memory recall will operate under the following conditions:
. Ignition key in and gear selector in park.
8 Ignition key in and handbrake on.
8 Ignition key out and driver’s door open (or having been closed within the last 30 seconds).
Re
-setting the preferred position on any setting button automatically erases previously stored information. Memory
information is not erased if power supply to the seat and column / mirror control modules is lost (e.g. battery discon- nected).
15.4.1.3 Passenger Seat Set
The procedure for setting and recalling a preferred passenger seat position is identical to that for a driving position.
Memory recall will only operate with ignition key in auxiliary position or passenger door open, or having been closed
within the last
30 seconds.

3.
From the driver's seat, position the memory mode switch, located on the LH side of the
steering column, to auto.
Operate the seat, column and mirror switches to preferred driving position.
Note:
Remove key from ignition. Check that seat moves backwards and column tilts upwards
and away, creating maximum space for exit.
Yes: Proceed to step
4.
No:
Seat must be a minimum of 50mm from rear end stop.
Abort test and refer to Diagnostic Sub
-Routines.

No:
Leave key in ignition and exit the vehicle, closing driver's door. Ensure that column and
seat return to driving position. Re-enter vehicle and ensure that column and seat move to
entry position. Close door and check that seat
/ column return to previously selected
driving positions.
Yes: Test complete.
No: Refer to Diagnostic Sub-Routines.

15.4.10 ELECTROCHROMATIC REAR VIEW MIRROR
15.4.10.1 Description
The function of the electrochromatic rearview mirror is to vary the reflectivity of the mirror glass. The mirror automati- cally varies its reflectivity to accommodate changes in traffic and light conditions to provide the driver with optimized
forward and rear vision.
The mirror contains an ambient sensor (forward facing) and
a glare sensor (rearward facing). Sensitivity control is
adjustable and at the lowest end of sensitivity control is system off. A reverse over-ride facility is incorporated; when
reverse gear is selected, the mirror operates in a high reflective state.
15.4.10.2 Test Procedure
The ambient and glare sensors and associated circuitry, the sensitivity control and reverse over-ride circuitry are all
contained within the mirror unit. Therefore only the inputs to the mirror unit can be interrogated, and if correct, the
mirror unit is defaulted.
. Measure voltage between mirror pin 1 and ground. Value should indicate battery voltage, i.e. 12V nominal.
. If an abnormally low or zero voltage is recorded, check fuse F14, RH 'A' post fuse-box, check wiring harness continu-
. Check the ground connection at the mirror unit pin 3.
Note: The mirror unit shares a common ground with the roof console and the sliding roof, therefore a fault within
the ground would effect all three systems.
. Check for 12V at mirror unit pin 2 when reverse gear selected, ignition ON; falling to OV on deselection of reverse.
