2008 FORD EXPLORER SPORT TRAC rear view mirror

Bounce-Back
When the back window is moving upward and an obstacle interferes with
the window’s movement, the back window will reverse direction and
move toward the fully open position. This is known as “bounce-back”.
Security Override
If, during a bounce-back condition and within 2 seconds after the
window stops, the control is held in the
direction,the back window
will travel up with no bounce-back protection.If the control is
released before the window reaches fully closed, the back window will
continue moving up with bounce-back re-enabled.
The following are possible reasons for using the security override:
•Ice on the window causing a restriction.
•Window unexpectedly reverses.
Position recovery mode
If the motor loses position and stops mid travel, the motor will respond to
switch inputs by moving 0.6 in. (15 mm) each switch command in the up
direction only. Down will be a one touch down operation. If the window is
stalled in the down position and there are no other system faults, the
motor shall relearn its position and resume full functionality. If there is a
feedback signal loss, the window will remain in its 0.6 in. (15 mm) travel
mode with each switch command and will not recover full functionality.
This will allow you to “inch” the window up to the fully closed position. If
the window does not operate correctly, see your dealer for service.
INTERIOR MIRROR
The interior rear view mirror has two pivot points on the support arm
which lets you adjust the mirror UP or DOWN and from SIDE to SIDE.
Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is in motion.
Automatic dimming interior rear view mirror (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an interior rear view mirror which
has an auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirror will
change from the normal (high reflective) state to the non-glare
(darkened) state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. When the
mirror detects bright light from behind the vehicle, it will automatically
adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
