Driver Controls Automatic dimming interior rear view mirror (if equipped) The interior rear view mirror has an auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirror will change from the normal (high reflective) state to the non-glare (darkened) state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from behind the vehicle, it will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare. The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) to ensure a bright clear view when backing up. Do not block the sensors on the front and back of the interior rear view mirror since this may impair proper mirror performance. Note: A rear center passenger and/or raised rear center headrest (if equipped) may also block the light from reaching the sensor. Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products. Note: If equipped with a rearview camera system, a video image will display in the mirror when the vehicle is put in R (Reverse). As you shift into any other gear from R (Reverse), the image will remain for a few seconds and then turn off. Refer to Rearview camera system in the Driving chapter. EXTERIOR MIRRORS Power side view mirrors (if equipped) WARNING: Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is in motion. To adjust your mirrors: 1. Rotate the control clockwise to adjust the right mirror or counterclockwise to adjust the left mirror. 2. Move the control in the direction you wish to tilt the mirror. 3. Return the control to the center position to lock mirrors in place. Heated side view mirrors (if equipped) Both mirrors are heated automatically to remove ice, mist and fog when the rear window defroster is activated. 60 2011 Transit Connect (tst) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
