Exterior Mirrors

The main components of the exterior mirrors are:

- Exterior mirror control switch
- Exterior mirror glass adjustment motors (power mirrors only)
- Exterior mirror glass
- Exterior mirror plastic housing
- Interior rear view mirror

Power Exterior Mirrors

Power mirrors allow the LH or RH exterior mirror glass to be positioned electronically. The position of the power mirror glass is controlled by the exterior mirror control switch. Adjusting the exterior mirror control switch to the LH or RH position determines which power mirror glass will be controlled.

Heated Exterior Rear View Mirrors

The exterior rear view mirrors are equipped with a heated mirror glass feature, which heats the mirror glass to remove frost, snow, ice and condensation. The Explorer/Mountaineer uses the rear window defrost switch and the Sport Trac uses the heated mirror switch to control the operation of the heated exterior rear view mirrors.
