Heated rear window and heated external mirrors

The GEM transmits a request signal via the CAN bus to the door modules to switch on the heated exterior mirrors.

The heated rear window and the heated exterior mirrors are switched on by the GEM under the following conditions:

• The switch for the heated rear window is pressed and the ignition switch is in the "II" position.
• The "defrost" function of the air conditioning is activated and the ignition switch is in the position "II".
• The battery voltage has exceeded 16 V for more than 20 seconds (power management strategy).

  Manual requests to switch off the heated rear window by pressing the button are ignored at this time.

• The engine was started at an outside air temperature below 4C and an engine temperature below 65. Manual requests for switching off the heated rear window by pressing the switch are accepted.

NOTE: If the battery voltage returns to the normal range then the disabling of the heated rear window is cancelled - the heated rear window is then in a switched-off state.

The GEM transmits a request signal via the CAN bus to the door modules to switch off the heated exterior mirrors.
