Setup and Installation

Installation of the Burco 2712H mirror glass is designed to be a direct replacement for your vehicle's original mirror. While specific steps may vary slightly by vehicle trim, the general process involves removing the old mirror glass and attaching the new one.

Tools Required (Typical):

• Flathead screwdriver or pry tool (for careful removal of old glass)
• Gloves (optional, for handling glass)

Installation Steps:

1. Safety First: Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the parking brake is engaged.
2. Remove Old Mirror Glass: Carefully pry the old mirror glass from its housing. Start from the edges and apply gentle, even pressure. If the mirror is broken, wear protective gloves. Disconnect any electrical connectors (e.g., for heating elements) from the old glass.
3. Inspect Housing: Clean any debris from the mirror housing. Ensure the mounting points are intact.
4. Connect Heating Wires: If your vehicle is equipped with heated mirrors, connect the existing heating wires to the terminals on the back of the new Burco 2712H mirror glass. The Burco 2712H comes with a pre-applied heat grid.
5. Attach New Mirror Glass: Align the new mirror glass with the mounting points in the mirror housing. Apply firm, even pressure to snap the new glass into place. Ensure it is securely seated and does not wobble.
6. Test Functionality: Turn on the vehicle and activate the defrost function to verify the heating element is working. Adjust the mirror to ensure proper movement and visibility.

Note: If you are unsure about any step, it is recommended to consult a professional automotive technician.

Operating Instructions (Heated Function)

The heating function of your Burco 2712H mirror is integrated with your vehicle's existing defrost system. It operates automatically when the vehicle's rear window defrost or mirror defrost function is activated.

• To activate the heated mirror function, turn on your vehicle's rear window defrost.
• The heating element will warm the mirror surface, melting ice, snow, and clearing fog for improved visibility.
• The heating element will typically turn off automatically after a set period or when the defrost function is deactivated.

Note: The mirror may or may not have a visible heated icon on its surface. The presence of heat wires connected during installation confirms the heated functionality.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the mirror surface with standard automotive glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the surface.
