2015 LINCOLN MKC sensor

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).

Blind Spot Information System (page
218).
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.

You can use the power point, located on the
rear of the center console, for powering
electrical devices that require up to 150
watts.
When the indicator light, located on the
power point, is:
•
on — power point is working, ignition is
on and you have the device plugged in.
• off — power point is off, ignition is off or
you do not have a device plugged in.
• flashing — power point is in fault mode.
The power point temporarily turns off power
if you exceed the 150 watt limit. It can also
switch to a fault mode when it overloads,
overheats or shorts. For overloading and
shorting conditions, unplug your device and
switch the ignition off and then back on. For
overheating conditions, let the system cool
off, then turn the ignition off and then back
on. The power point is not designed for electric
devices such as:
•
Cathode ray tube type televisions.
• Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners,
electric saws and other electric power
tools, compressor-driven refrigerators,
etc.
• Measuring devices, which process
precise data, such as medical equipment,
measuring equipment, etc.
• Other appliances requiring an extremely
stable power supply:
microcomputer-controlled electric
blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.
