Reverse dipping mirror - incorrect operation |
|
TSB LTB00042 issued 16th March '07
All Vehicles With Memory Mirrors VIN- range: 5A300394-7A427985
Summary:
A customer may complain of any of the following conditions:
1. Memory mirrors in the incorrect position after unlocking and entering the vehicle.
2. Memory mirrors not returning to their correct driving position after a reverse
manoeuver has been completed and the gear selector has been moved out of reverse.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission, if the gear position is left in reverse and the
ignition switched 'OFF' (and the vehicle enters sleep mode) when the ignition is next
switched 'ON' and the gear selector moved away from reverse, the mirrors incorrectly
remain in the dipped position. On the next reverse gear cycle the mirrors will recover and
will return to the correct driving position.
4. On vehicles with the 'Lazy Entry' feature enabled, the following sequence will result in
the mirrors incorrectly moving to the dipped position:
a) Ignition 'ON'.
b) Select reverse gear - mirrors move to dipped position.
c) Ignition 'ON' - auxiliary.
d) De-select reverse gear - mirrors move to driving position.
e) Lock the vehicle.
f) Unlock the vehicle - mirrors move to the dipped position (INCORRECT).
5. On vehicles with the lazy entry feature enabled, there is an issue with the normal
driving position drifting. Repeating the following sequence for a number of cycles will
result in a drift:
a) Ignition 'ON'.
b) Select reverse gear (mirrors move to dipped position).
c) Deselect reverse gear (mirrors move to driving position).
d) Ignition 'ON' - auxiliary - key-in - key-out.
e) Lock the vehicle.
f) Unlock the vehicle.
g) Key in - auxiliary.
6. On vehicles with manual transmission, if the gear position is left in reverse (mirrors
dipped) and the ignition is turned 'OFF'. If the ignition is then turned 'ON' and the engine
cranked, and the gear selector is moved out of reverse (whilst still cranking), the mirrors
do not return to the driving position.
NOTE: All other mirror issues other than those described in the Summary will require
further investigation. To be carried out as a separate Warranty Claim.
NOTE: The mirrors may be repositioned using the normal mirror adjustment functionality.
Cause: Some sequences of ignition cycles/gear positions (involving reverse) can cause
the control software within the seat module to become confused and loose the
mirror memory position, or learn an incorrect driving position.
Action: Should a customer express concern, install a new driver seat module.

I think that is it Wiggs. I have this very problem , they can do it at the same time as the clock spring when I think my D3 is dirty enough to get dealer cleaned Captain Nick Medhurst would ask:
"What is the first rule when overlanding?"

I have a similar problem, As you know I am well over 6ft 6" tall so my seat is adjusted as far back as it will go and saved to memory position 1. However when I return to my car and unlock it the seat slides forward to a position more suited to the shorter legged type its so annoying Why do you think this is In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Somebody's applied the Dwarfy McTripod patch, get your dealer to remove it
I suspect you'll be more comfortable with the Stumpy patch The End

Thanks tfc
this issue has been irritating me on and off. Already changed a seat module without success some months back but assume the new ones have been upgraded. The seat drift was particulary annoying

my car is 10 days old, and suffers from this problem.
Dropped it today for a check and the service guy confirmed that they need to replace the module.
however, they are in back order! so will have to wait until they come back in stock before I can have it fixed... nothing yet.
