The image of the approaching vehicle
is small and near the inboard edge of
the main mirror when it is at a
distance. The image becomes larger
and begins to move outboard across
the main mirror as the vehicle
approaches (A). The image will
transition from the main mirror and
begin to appear in the blind spot
mirror as the vehicle approaches (B).
The vehicle will transition to your
peripheral field of view as it leaves the
blind spot mirror (C).

INTERIOR MIRROR
WARNING
Do not adjust the mirror when
your vehicle is moving.
Note:Do not clean the housing or
glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum or
ammonia-based cleaning products.
You can adjust the interior mirror to
your preference. Some mirrors also
have a second pivot point. This lets
you move the mirror head up or down
and from side to side.
Auto-Dimming Mirror
Note: Do not block the sensors on the
front and back of the mirror. Mirror
performance may be affected. A rear
center passenger or raised rear center
head restraint may also block light
from reaching the sensor.
The mirror will dim automatically to
reduce glare when bright lights are
detected from behind your vehicle. It
will automatically return to normal
reflection when you select reverse
gear to make sure you have a clear
view when backing up.

Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and,
by itself, does not necessarily indicate
a concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert,
such as the factory-trained
technicians at your dealership, should
inspect discolored fluids that also
show signs of overheating or foreign
material contamination immediately.Make sure to change your vehicle’s
oils and fluids at the specified
intervals or in conjunction with a
repair. Flushing is a viable way to
change fluid for many vehicle
sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems
are flushed only with new fluid that is
the same as that required to fill and
operate the system or using a
Ford-approved flushing chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Make sure you perform the following
basic maintenance checks and
inspections every month or at
six-month intervals.
