Principles of Operation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

There are 2 exterior rear view mirror options, a manually adjustable aero-style mirror or a power adjustable paddle-style mirror. Power mirrors allow the driver or passenger mirror glass to be positioned automatically. The position of the power mirror glass is controlled by the exterior mirror control switch, which is located on the LH front door trim panel. Adjusting the exterior mirror control switch to the LH or RH position determines which power mirror glass will be controlled. If equipped with power folding mirrors, the center position of the exterior mirror control switch allows the power folding mirrors to be folded or unfolded.

The power exterior rear view mirrors are available with a heated glass option, which heats the mirror glass to remove frost, snow, ice and condensation. On vehicles with optional rear window defrost, the heated exterior rear view mirrors are heated for a period of 10 minutes when the rear window defrost switch is pressed.

The power exterior rear view mirrors are available with a power folding option, which allows both exterior mirrors to be extended or retracted from the exterior mirror control switch.
