Definitions
- the invention relates to a self-dimming mirror, such as an interior or exterior mirror, of a motor vehicle.
- a disadvantage here is that under certain circumstances, despite a subsequent road user and thus dimmed mirror, the precise monitoring of the rear traffic events may be necessary to avoid overlooking potential sources of danger.
- the object is achieved in that a dimming of the mirror in a change of a driving situation of the motor vehicle is automatically canceled.
- a mirror of a motor vehicle designed in this way, an arbitrary change in the driving situation of the motor vehicle directly leads to a cancellation of the dimming.
- this can be controlled in such a way that the dimming is reversed again.
- a mechanical mirror which is pivoted, for example, with an electric motor, can be returned from this position to its original starting position.
- an interior mirror which is usually arranged in a central, upper region of the interior of the motor vehicle, as well as one or both exterior mirrors of the motor vehicle includes. In this case, dimming of several mirrors can be canceled again independently.
- the driver may still cancel the dimming at his request, e.g. by actuating a corresponding actuating element.
- the advantage of the invention is that in the production of the motor vehicle or the mirror hardly additional effort is incurred, since all components, sensors and control devices are already present in the vehicle and networked with each other and, for example, a central controller only so hard and / or software technology must be designed so that when detecting a changed driving situation, the existing mirror is controlled accordingly.
- the dimming is canceled when automatically detecting a dangerous situation in order to allow the driver an optimal all-round view.
- This automatic recognition of dangerous situations can be achieved, inter alia, with known systems for monitoring the environment of the motor vehicle, inter alia with distance sensors, radar devices and the like. If such a dangerous situation is detected, the motor vehicle can automatically set up the backrests, straighten seat belts and possibly even develop a small braking effect. In addition, a dimmed mirror is now being flashed again. Further information regarding a change in a driving situation can be obtained inter alia by actuating a direction indicator. For example, if the vehicle is driving in darkness on a multi-lane roadway, another vehicle follows
- the outer and / or inner mirror can be displayed again so as to be able to see the rear area of the adjacent lane to be changed to.
- a mirror in an automatic transmission also a kick-down acceleration, which usually takes place before an overtaking maneuver, a mirror can be displayed again, as well as during a braking operation.
- the mirror can be superimposed when switching on a fog light at the front and / or rear of the vehicle, since in the case of fog anyway, even worse visibility conditions prevail, which should not be additionally restricted by dimming.
- the activation of a hazard warning lights indicates a changed driving situation.
- a dimming can be canceled, as well as when activating a rear window heating, which often occurs only with fogging rear window, which allows only worse visibility conditions.
- the dimming can be canceled again when approaching an intersection and / or a turn-off point.
- Such an approach can be determined with a navigation system or its GPS receiver already present in the motor vehicle or with optical detection systems for monitoring in particular the road edges.
- a navigation system or its GPS receiver already present in the motor vehicle or with optical detection systems for monitoring in particular the road edges.
- the navigation system recognizes that, for example, a turn lane should be changed at a turnstile, the dimming of the corresponding exterior mirror can be canceled in good time beforehand in order to be able to completely monitor this turn lane when entering the lane.
