6. Operating Instructions
- Power Mirror Adjustment: Use your vehicle's interior mirror control switch to adjust the angle of the main plane mirror.
- Convex Lens Adjustment: The lower convex mirror is adjusted manually by gently pushing on the mirror glass to achieve the desired angle.
- Manual Telescoping: To extend the mirrors for towing, grasp the mirror housing firmly and pull it outwards until it locks into the extended position. To retract, push the mirror housing inwards until it locks into the standard position.
- Manual Folding: To fold the mirrors, gently push the mirror housing towards the vehicle body. To return to the operating position, pull the mirror housing outwards until it clicks into place.
- Heated Function: The heated mirror function is typically activated via a switch inside your vehicle, often integrated with the rear defroster control. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific activation instructions.
- Turn Signals and Running Lights: These functions operate automatically with your vehicle's existing electrical system when the corresponding signals (turn signal, headlights) are activated.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your towing mirrors.
- Cleaning: Clean the mirror glass and housing regularly with a mild automotive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or mirror surface.
- Inspection: Periodically check all electrical connections for corrosion or damage. Ensure the manual folding and telescoping mechanisms operate smoothly.
- Winter Care: In freezing conditions, ensure the mirrors are free of ice before attempting to fold or telescope them to prevent damage to the mechanisms.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your YITAMOTOR Towing Mirrors, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Mirror Not Adjusting Electronically: Check the wiring connections to ensure they are secure and properly seated. Verify that your vehicle's mirror adjustment fuse is intact.
- Heated Function Not Working: Confirm that the heated mirror function is activated in your vehicle. Check the fuse associated with the heated mirrors or rear defroster. Ensure all wiring connections are secure.
- Turn Signal/Running Lights Not Functioning: Inspect the wiring connections for the lights. Verify that your vehicle's turn signal or running light fuses are not blown.
- Manual Folding/Telescoping Stiff or Not Working: Ensure there is no obstruction or debris in the mechanism. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts if necessary, avoiding petroleum-based products. Do not force the mechanism if it feels stuck.
- Compatibility Issues: As noted in the Vehicle Fitment section, if your original vehicle mirrors lacked certain functions (e.g., power heat), the corresponding function on the new mirrors may not operate without additional wiring or vehicle modifications. Consult a professional if you suspect a compatibility issue beyond simple plug-and-play.
