rear view mirror FORD EXPLORER SPORT 2003 1.G Owners Manual

Automatic dimming rear view mirror
The autolamp/automatic dimming
mirror is equipped with an
automatic dimming feature. This
feature will change from the normal
state to the non-glare “active” state
when bright lights (glare) reach the
mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from front or behind, it will
adjust automatically to minimize glare.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal position whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) (when the mirror is in the ON position).
This helps to ensure a bright clear view in the mirror when backing up.
Power side view mirrors (if equipped)

1. Select

2. Move the control in the direction
you wish to tilt the mirror.
3. Return to the center position to
disable the adjust function.
Fold-away mirrors
