2004 LINCOLN AVIATOR Owners Manual

Bounce-Back
When an obstacle has been detected in the window opening as the
window is moving upward, the window will automatically reverse
direction and move down. This is known as ªbounce-backº. If the ignition
is turned OFF (without accessory delay being active) during
bounce-back, the window will move down until the bounce back position
is reached.
Security Override
If during a bounce-back condition, the switch is released to the neutral
position, then held in the one touch up position within two seconds after
the window reaches the bounce-back position,the window will travel
up with no bounce-back protection.If the switch is released before
the window reaches fully closed or the ignition is turned OFF (without
accessory delay being active), the window will stop. Security override
can be used if there is ice on the window or seals, causing a restriction.
Window lock
The window lock feature allows only
the driver to operate the rear power
windows.
To lock out the rear window
controls push the control down. To
restore the rear window controls,
push the control down. The control
will spring back up to the neutral
position.
Accessory delay
With accessory delay, the radio, windows, and moonroof operate for up
to ten minutes after the ignition switch is turned from the ON to the
OFF position or until any door is opened.
MIRRORS
Automatic dimming rear view mirror (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an inside rear view mirror with an
auto-dimming function. When the mirror is put in the AUTO position, it
will detect bright lights (glare) from behind the vehicle, and will change
from the undarkened high reflective state to the darkened state during
night driving to minimize glare.
Driver Controls
105

Do not block the sensor on either side of the mirror since this will impair
proper mirror performance (i.e. hangtags, parking stickers, aftermarket
window-tint etc.).
Use the button located on the front
of the mirror to turn the
auto-dimming feature OFF or return
it to AUTO. When the auto-dimming
feature is OFF the mirror will
remain in the undarkened high
reflective state.
When the electrochromatic mirror is
in the AUTO position, it will return
to the normal high reflective state
whenever the vehicle is placed in
reverse (R) to ensure a clear view while backing up.
Power side view mirrors
The ignition must be in the ACC or ON position to adjust the power side
view mirrors.
To adjust your mirrors:
1. Rotate the control clockwise to
adjust the right mirror and rotate
the control counterclockwise to
adjust the left mirror.
2. Move the control in the direction
you wish to tilt the mirror.
3. Return to the center position to
lock mirrors in place.

Heated outside mirrors
Both mirrors are heated
automatically to remove ice, mist
and fog when the rear window
defrost is activated.
Do not remove ice from the
mirrors with a scraper or
attempt to readjust the mirror
glass if it is frozen in place.
These actions could cause
damage to the glass and mirrors.
Signal indicator mirrors
When the turn signal is activated,
the lower portion of the mirror
housing will blink.
Fold-away mirrors
Pull the side mirrors in carefully
when driving through a narrow
space, like an automatic car wash.
