Synchronization

NOTE: The power folding mirrors may need to be synchronized any time the mirrors are folded or unfolded without using the exterior mirror control switch, or if a new power folding mirror is installed.

NOTE: The power telescoping mirrors may need to be synchronized any time the mirrors are extended or retracted without using the exterior mirror control switch, or if a new power telescoping mirror is installed.

NOTE: If the power folding or power telescoping mirrors are continuously electronically moved, the power lockout feature disables the system for approximately 3-10 minutes to prevent damage to the power fold motors. After 3-10 minutes have elapsed, normal operation resumes.

NOTE: F-150 power folding mirror procedure is shown in the video, other vehicles and power telescoping mirror procedure are similar.

Fold or retract both mirrors by hand.
Using the power folding/power telescoping mirror switch, operate the mirrors until an audible click is heard.
Operate the power folding or power telescoping mirrors an additional 3 to 4 times to synchronize the mirrors.
