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. Signal indicator mirrors (if equipped) When the turn signal is activated, the outer portion of the appropriate mirror housing will blink. This provides an additional warning to other drivers that your vehicle is about to turn. Blind spot mirrors (if equipped) Your vehicle may be equipped with blind spot mirrors or a blind spot information system. Refer to Blind spot mirrors or Blind spot information system (BLIS௡) with cross traffic alert (CTA) in the Driving chapter. 97 2012 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
