How Do I Adjust the Side Mirrors?
Enhance your driving safety and visibility by correctly adjusting your Ford’s side mirrors. Learn how to use the auto-fold system, configure settings via the touchscreen, and reset the system if issues occur, ensuring every journey is smooth and convenient in every situation.
How do I adjust the mirror position?
You can adjust the mirrors while the engine is running or in accessory mode. Select the mirror you wish to adjust and use the control button to move it to the desired position. Once finished, deselect the mirror to prevent accidental movement.
Caution: For maximum safety, do not adjust the side mirrors while the vehicle is in motion.
How do the power and auto-fold systems work?
- Operation: The mirrors will automatically fold when the vehicle is locked and unfold when it is unlocked. You can enable or disable this feature through the menu:
- Select Settings
- Select Vehicle
- Select Mirrors
- Select Autofold
- Manual Folding: When parking in tight spaces, you can press the control switch to fold or unfold the mirrors immediately.
- Motor Protection: If the mirrors are folded and unfolded too frequently, the system may temporarily stop to prevent overheating. Wait approximately 3–10 minutes for the system to reset and return to normal operation.
How do I troubleshoot and reset the mirrors?
If the mirrors vibrate, feel loose, or are out of sync, you can resynchronize the system by using the control switch to fold and unfold them 3–4 times. You may hear a loud noise while the system is realigning; this is normal. If the issue persists, manually fold the mirror toward the vehicle, then use the power switch to operate it until you hear a "click," indicating it has locked back into its original position.
Proper use and maintenance of your side mirrors will help extend the life of your vehicle's technology. For model-specific technical information, please refer to your Ford Owner’s Manual.
