Checking With The Temperature Probe







1. Use the tip of the sensor to measure from the outside on the centre of the mirror glass.
2. After switching on at room temperature and a period of 1 minute, the temperature must increase by approx. 2 degrees.
3. If no temperature increase is determined, the fault must be detected on the basis of the wiring diagram.
