Driver Controls Heated outside mirrors (if equipped) Both mirrors are heated automatically to remove ice, mist and fog when the rear window defrost is activated. Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a scraper or attempt to readjust the mirror glass if it is frozen in place. These actions could cause damage to the glass and mirrors. Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products. Fold-away mirrors Fold the side mirrors in carefully before driving through a narrow space, like an automatic car wash. Powerfold mirrors (if equipped) You can fold the side mirrors simultaneously using the power mirror button. Press the button to fold the mirrors in or out. Powerfold the side mirrors in carefully when driving through a narrow space, like an automatic car wash. The powerfold mirrors may be moved inward/outward manually. However, if a mirror is moved manually, it will need to be reset. A mirror which has not been reset may appear to be loose. To reset: momentarily press the button to fold the mirrors in. An audible "click" will be heard indicating re-synchronization. If the click is not heard, use the switch to fold the mirrors out, then in, until the click is heard. After that, the mirrors will operate normally until they are again moved manually. Note: 10 or more switch activations within one minute, or repeated folding/unfolding of the mirrors while holding the button down during full travel, may cause the system to disable the fold/unfold function to protect motors from overheating. Should this occur, wait approximately three minutes with the vehicle running and up to 10 minutes with the vehicle off, for the system to reset and for function to return to normal. 99 2011 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide, 4th Printing USA (fus)
