Inspection

  1. AUTO UP/AUTO DOWN Function
    1. IGNITION ON: if you press the rear sunshade switch, the rear sunshade motor operates in the direction opposite to the previous one (UP/DOWN).
    2. After replacing the battery, if you use the rear sunshade switch, the rear sunshade rises automatically.
    3. If the switch input occurs during automatic raising or automatic lowering of the rear sunshade, the rear sunshade moves in the reverse direction after pausing.
    4. The AUTO function stops when excess current is detected.
  2. TIMER Function
    1. The rear sunshade can operate for 30 seconds after the ignition is switched off.
    2. Rear sunshade operation can be controlled by the engine stop, even if the timer has expired during automatic raising/lowering.
  3. SAFETY Function: If the engine does not stop within 10 seconds after starting, the motor is stopped by the automatic shutdown of the internal relay.
    T1: MAX. 10 s, T2: 30 s.
  4. REVERSE GEAR Function
    1. When the ignition is ON and the shift lever is in the "R" position, the rear sunshade motor associated with the signal automatically lowers.
    2. When the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h under condition 1), the rear sunshade motor associated with the signal automatically raises. However, the motor does not operate below 20 km/h.
    3. When the shift lever position is changed from R to P from condition 1), the rear sunshade motor associated with the signal automatically raises. Only the case where the driver presses the knockdown button is excluded.
    4. If the driver presses the lower switch while the rear sunshade motor is in the raised state, the reverse gear operation and the return-up operation do not function due to vehicle speed. After that, when the driver presses the switch and the motor operates automatically, the reverse engagement operation is possible again.
