2008 FORD EXPEDITION mirror

Powerfold mirrors (if equipped)
Rotate the 4–way adjustment switch
to the center position. Press the
switch down to auto fold in and
down again to auto fold back to
design position. Powerfold the side
mirrors in carefully when driving
through a narrow space, like an
automatic car wash.
The mirrors may be moved
inward/outward manually, however,
if a mirror is moved manually, it will
need to be reset. To reset: with the switch in the center position,
press the switch down to fold the mirrors in and wait a short period
(8 seconds). An audibleclickwill be heard indicating
re-synchronization. If the click is not heard, use the switch to fold the
mirrors out, then in, until the click is heard. After that, the mirrors will
operate to their normal positions until they are again moved manually.

Memory seats/power mirrors/adjustable pedals (if equipped)
This system allows automatic
positioning of the driver seat, power
mirrors, and adjustable pedals to
two programmable positions.
The memory seat control is located
on the outboard side of the seat
cushion.
•To program position 1, move the
driver seat, mirrors and pedals (if
equipped) to the desired position
using the associated controls. Press the SET control. Within 5 seconds
of pressing the SET control, press control 1.
•To program position 2, repeat the previous procedure using control 2.
A position can be recalled:
•in any gearshift position if the ignition isnotin the RUN position.
•only in P (Park) or N (Neutral) if the ignition is in the RUN position.
A memory seat position may be programmed at any time.
The memory positions are also recalled when you press your remote
entry transmitter UNLOCK control (if the transmitter is programmed to
a memory position) or, when you enter a valid personal entry code that
is programmed to a memory position.
To program the memory feature to a remote entry transmitter and for
more information on how to use the keypad, refer toRemote entry
systemin theLocks and Securitychapter.
Climate controlled seats (if equipped)
Note: It is recommended for optimal performance that the vehicle air
conditioning system be run in the same mode (either heating or cooling)
as the climate control seat system. During start up of the climate control
seat system, a slight difference in seat surface temperature may be
perceived between the seat cushion and seat back until the cabin and
seat temperatures stabilize. If the vehicle air conditioning system is run
in floor mode, the effect may be more pronounced. Switching between
seat heat and seat cool modes in alternate succession will delay the time
it takes for the seat temperatures (back and cushion) to stabilize.
The controls for the climate controlled seats are located on the dual
electronic automatic temperature control (DEATC) system.

The radar sensor is located behind the rear bumper/fascia. Always
keep the rear bumper/fascia free from snow, ice and large
accumulations of dirt. These elements may cause the system to
operate inaccurately.
If the vehicle sustains damage to the rear bumper/fascia, leaving
it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms.
REVERSE CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The reverse camera system located
on the liftgate provides a video
image (which appears in the rear
view mirror) of the area behind the
vehicle. It adds assistance to the
driver while reversing or reverse
parking the vehicle.
To use the reverse camera system,
place the transmission in R
(Reverse); an image will display on
the left portion of the rear view
mirror. The area displayed on the
screen may vary according to the
vehicle orientation and or road
condition.
•(A) Rear bumper
•(B) Centerline of vehicle
•(1) Red zone
•(2) Yellow zone
•(3) Green zone
Always use caution while backing.
Objects in the red zone are closest to your vehicle and objects in the
green zone are further away. Objects are getting closer to your vehicle as
they move from the green zone to the yellow or red zones.
Use the side mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both
sides and rear of the vehicle. When shifting out of reverse and into any
other gear, the image will remain on for a few seconds before it shuts off
to assist in parking or trailer hookup.

When towing, the reverse camera system will only see what is being
towed behind the vehicle; this might not provide adequate coverage as it
usually provides in normal operation and some objects might not be
seen.
The camera lens for the reverse camera system is located on the liftgate,
above the license plate. Keep the lens clean so the video image remains
clear and undistorted. Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and
non-abrasive cleaner.
If the reverse camera system image is not clear or seems distorted it may
be covered with water droplets, snow, mud or any other substance. If
this occurs, clean the camera lens before using the reverse camera
system.
The reverse camera system is a reverse aid supplement device
that still requires the driver to use it in conjunction with the rear
view mirror and the side mirrors for maximum coverage.
Objects that are close to either corner of the bumper or under
the bumper, might not be seen on the screen due to the limited
coverage of the reverse camera system.
Backup as slow as possible since higher speeds might limit your
reaction time to stop the vehicle.
Do not use the reverse camera system with the liftgate open.
If the back end of the vehicle is hit or damaged, then check with your
authorized dealer to have your rear video system checked for proper
coverage and operation.
Nighttime and dark area use
At night time or in dark areas, the reverse camera system relies on the
reverse lamp lighting to produce an image. Therefore it is necessary that
both reverse lamps are operating in order to get a clear image in the
dark. If either of the lamps are not operating, stop using the reverse
camera system, at least in the dark, until the lamp(s) are replaced and
functioning.

Servicing
•If the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and the screen in the rear view mirror
appears blue for three seconds and turns blank afterwards, the camera
is not working properly; have the system inspected by your authorized
dealer.
•If the image comes on while the vehicle is not in reverse, have the
system inspected by your authorized dealer.
•If the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and the screen is blank and no blue
screen is observed, the mirror is not working properly; have the
system inspected by your authorized dealer.
•If the image is not clear, then check if there is anything covering the
lens such as dirt, mud, ice, snow, etc. If the image is still not clear
after cleaning, have your system inspected by your authorized dealer.
CONTROL TRAC FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4X4) OPERATION
(IF EQUIPPED)
For important information regarding safe operation of this type
of vehicle, seePreparing to drive your vehiclein this chapter.
If equipped with the Control Trac 4x4 System, and 4L (4x4 LOW)
is selected while the vehicle is moving, the system will not
engage. This is normal and should be no reason for concern.
Before 4L (4x4 LOW) can be engaged, the vehicle must be
brought to a complete stop and the transmission placed in N
(Neutral).
Do not use 4H (4X4) or 4L (4X4 LOW) on dry, hard surfaced roads.
Doing so will produce excessive noise, increased tire wear and may
damage drive components. 4H (4X4) and 4L (4X4 LOW) are only
intended for consistently slippery or loose surfaces. Use of 4H (4X4) or
4L (4X4 LOW) on these surfaces may produce some noise (such as
occasional clunks) but will not damage drive components.
Your 4x4 features the heavy-duty Control Trac system which includes a
computer-operated transfer case. This unique system is interactive with
the road, continually monitoring and adjusting torque delivery to the
front and rear wheels to optimize vehicle control.
System indicator messages
The Control Trac system indicator messages display in the reconfigurable
telltale (RTT) location in the message center only under the following
