Ford Windstar (2003 year). Manual — part 12

AUXILIARY POWER POINT

Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not hang
any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug.
Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered
by your warranty.

Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the cigarette lighter. Use
the power point.

Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element.

The Maximum power each power point can supply depends on the fuse
rating. For example: a 20A fuse should supply a maximum of 240 Watts,
a 15A fuse should supply a maximum of 180 Watts and a 10A fuse should
supply a maximum of 120 Watts. Exceeding these limits will result in a
blown fuse.

Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.

MIRRORS

Automatic dimming inside rear view mirror (if equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with an inside rear view mirror which has an
auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirror will change from
the normal state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach
the mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from front or behind, it
will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare.

Do not block the sensor on the backside of the mirror since this may
impair proper mirror performance.

Press the control to turn the mirror
OFF or AUTO.

The mirror will automatically return
to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R
(Reverse)(when the mirror is on) to ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.

Heated outside mirrors

R

(if equipped)

Both mirrors are heated
automatically to remove ice, mist
and fog when the rear window
defrost is activated.

Do not remove ice from the
mirrors with a scraper or
attempt to readjust the mirror
glass if it is frozen in place.
These actions could cause damage to the glass and mirrors.

Signal mirrors (if equipped)

When the turn signal is activated,
the appropriate mirror will show a
blinking yellow arrow. When the
park lamps are on, the blinking
arrow will be dimmer.

The arrow provides an additional
warning to other drivers that your
vehicle is about to turn.

When the sliding door is open, the indicator in the appropriate mirror
will flash indicating people may be entering/exiting the vehicle.

Fold-away mirrors

Pull the side mirrors in carefully
when driving through a narrow
