How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror on a Mondeo
2 Answers
Ford Mondeo's rearview mirror adjustment controls are located on the door armrest. Press the selector control button to adjust the angles of the left and right rearview mirrors. Here are details about the rearview mirrors: 1. Ford Mondeo Rearview Mirror Heating: The heating button is integrated with the rear window defogger button. Press the corresponding button when needed to activate the heating function. This helps clear fog from the mirror surface. 2. Ford Mondeo Rearview Mirror Folding: The folding button is positioned on the driver's door armrest. Press this switch to retract the mirrors. Additionally, some models allow you to enable the automatic mirror folding feature when locking the vehicle.
Adjusting the Mondeo's mirrors is quite convenient. When I drive, I always make sure my seating position is comfortable before making any adjustments. There's usually a control panel on the inner side of the door with left/right options and a cross-directional button. First, press the L button to adjust the left mirror, then use the directional knob to move the mirror up, down, left, or right until I can just see the rear door handle and the rear wheel position. This makes parking and lane changes much safer. The Mondeo's design is quite intuitive. If the mirror feels shaky or has a delay, it might be due to dirty contacts or wiring issues—a gentle wipe or restarting the car could help. It's important to adjust the mirrors in an open area to avoid setting them too wide (which can distract) or too narrow (which can leave blind spots). Regular checks, like after car washes or when someone else has driven the car, can prevent many minor accidents.
