2009 FORD F350 mirror controls

Heated outside mirrors(if equipped)
The main mirror glass and lower
convex spotter mirror are heated to
remove ice, mist and fog. To activate
the heated mirrors, press the heated
mirror control
located on the
climate control panel. The heated
mirrors will operate for 10 minutes,
then automatically shut off (or shut
off when the engine is turned off).
In cases of extreme ice and cold,
the heater control may need
pressing again after 10 minutes in order to fully clear the glass.
Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a scraper or attempt to
re-adjust the mirror glass if it is frozen in place. These actions
could cause damage to the glass and mirrors.
Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.
Fold-away mirrors
Fold the side mirrors in carefully before driving through a narrow space,
like an automatic car wash.
Powerfold mirrors
If equipped with powerfold mirrors,
you can fold the side mirrors
simultaneously using the power
mirror switch.
To operate the powerfold mirrors:
1. Rotate the switch to the center/neutral position.
2. Momentarily pull the switch rearward to auto fold in.
3. Momentarily pull the switch rearward again to fold back to design
position.
Note:When powerfolding the mirrors, it is normal to hear the sound of
the motors.

Powerfold mirror positions, from left to right: Position 1, Position 2,
Position 3
The powerfold mirrors may be folded forward/rearward manually to any
of the three positions shown and electrically to positions 1 and 2 only. If
a mirror is folded manually forward to position 3, you must manually fold
it back to position 1 or 2 in order for the powerfold function to continue
functioning.Note:Although it is possible to electrically fold the mirror
from position 3 to 2, it was not designed for this functionality and may
not always work under all conditions.
Note:Ten or more switch activations within one minute, or repeated
fold/unfolding of the mirrors while holding the switch rearward during
the full travel may cause the system to disable the fold/unfold function to
protect the motors from overheating. Should this occur, wait
approximately 3
12minutes for the system to reset and function to return
to normal.
Note:The powerfold mirrors are designed to operate while the vehicle is
stationary or traveling at moderate speeds. If you attempt to powerfold
the mirrors at high speeds, they may not fully fold forward/rearward -
slow down and powerfold or manually fold the mirrors in order to
complete the fold operation.
Note:If the power fold/telescope mirror glass appears loose or vibrates
when driving, it is possible that the mirrors have been manually folded or
telescoped. To minimize the vibration, ensure that the mirrors are
electronically folded and telescoped in/out with the switches on the door
trim panel. If the power fold mirrors are out of sync, electronically
powerfold the mirrors to re-sync the motors. This will cause a loud
clickand the mirrors will jerk during re-synchronization. This is normal.

Telescoping mirrors (if equipped)
The telescoping feature allows the
mirror to extend approximately
2.75 inches (70 mm). This feature is
especially useful to the driver when
towing a trailer. Mirrors can be
manually pulled out or pushed in to
the desired telescopic position.
If equipped with power telescoping
mirrors, you can simultaneously
position both mirrors using the
power telescope switch found on
the door trim panel.
•To telescope the mirrors
outboard, press and hold the left
side of the power telescope
switch until the mirrors reach their desired position. When the end of
travel is reached, it is normal to hear the power telescoping motors
running as long as you continue to hold the switch.
•To telescope the mirrors inboard, press and hold the right side of the
power telescope switch until the mirrors reach their desired position.
Memory mirrors (if equipped)
This system allows automatic positioning of the outside rearview mirrors.
