4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power Mirror Adjustment

To adjust the mirror glass, use the vehicle's interior mirror control switch. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the exact location and operation of this switch. The mirror glass can be moved up, down, left, and right to achieve the desired viewing angle.

4.2 Heated Mirror Function

The heated mirror function is typically activated in conjunction with the vehicle's rear defroster or a dedicated mirror heat switch. When activated, the heating element within the mirror glass will warm up to melt ice and evaporate fog or condensation. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific activation instructions.

4.3 Manual Foldaway

To fold the mirror, grasp the mirror housing firmly and gently push it towards the vehicle body until it is in the folded position. To return it to the operating position, pull the mirror housing away from the vehicle body until it clicks into place. Avoid excessive force when folding or unfolding.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your mirror.

• Cleaning: Clean the mirror glass and housing regularly with a soft cloth and a mild automotive glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or glass coating.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the mirror for any signs of damage, loose components, or wear. Check the electrical wiring for any fraying or exposed sections.
• Lubrication (Manual Foldaway): If the manual foldaway mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points. Avoid petroleum-based lubricants.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Fit System 60063C mirror, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Mirror Not Adjusting: Check the vehicle's fuse box for a blown fuse related to mirror power. Ensure the electrical connection to the mirror is secure.
• Heated Function Not Working: Verify that the vehicle's rear defroster or mirror heat switch is activated. Check relevant fuses.
• Mirror Vibrates Excessively: Ensure the mirror is securely mounted to the vehicle door. Check for any loose mounting hardware.
• Distorted Image: While the mirror features a convex lens for a wider view, significant distortion may indicate an issue. Ensure the mirror glass is clean and free from damage.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to consult a professional automotive technician for diagnosis and repair.
