mirror controls Mercury Villager 1998 Owner's Manuals

The controls for the climate control systems, headlamps, clock,
radio, rear window washer and wiper, hazard flasher, power mirror
controls, and speed control are all on the instrument panel.
Climate Control Systems
Function Selector Buttons
There are six function selector buttons: OFF, Mix, Defrost, Panel,
Panel/Floor, and Floor. When you press a function selector
button, the indicator light on the button will illuminate. If your
vehicle is equipped with a rear passenger compartment climate
control system, the instrument panel will also include a rear
seat function selector.
mThe OFF button shuts off the air supply to all outlets and
stops all fan operations. Use this setting when driving through
an area where outside air is unpleasant or dusty.

Liftgate Window Features
Rear Window Defogger (If equipped)
The defogger for the rear liftgate window clears frost, fog, or thin
ice from both the inside and outside of the rear window. The
defogger operates with the ignition in the ON position.
If your vehicle is equipped with heated rearview mirrors, they
activate when the rear window defogger is switched on.
The control switch is located on the instrument panel to the right
of the steering column.
Before using the defogger, clear away any snow that is on the rear
window and outside rearview mirrors. With the engine
running, push the defroster button.
After approximately 10 minutes, the defroster will turn off. If the
window or mirrors are still not clear, turn the defroster on
again.

Mirrors
WARNING
Make sure you can see clearly through the rearview mirror
at all times. Do not block your vision. If you cannot see
through the mirror, it could result in a collision, injuring
yourself and others.
Side View Mirrors
Close your door and adjust the driver seat to the most
comfortable position before you adjust the side view mirrors.
If you have manually adjusting side view mirrors, you can adjust
them in any direction by moving the mirror. The mirror heads
can be folded rearward to prevent damage when using an
automatic car wash.
NOTE: Be careful. The convex side view mirror on the right
makes objects appear smaller and farther away than
they actually are. Use the inside rearview mirror (or look
behind you) to determine the actual size and distance
of objects that appear in the convex mirror.

Heated mirror feature (If equipped)
Both power mirrors are heated whenever the rear window
defroster is turned on. Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a
scraper or you could damage them.
Cargo Net (If equipped)
The cargo net is designed to hold your cargo upright between the
third row bench seat and the liftgate to prevent it from moving
around the cargo area.
To install the cargo net:
Attach the loops on the four corners of the net to the four
retainers on the cargo area rear quarter panels. Pull on the net to
be sure that it is fastened securely.
