Sun Visors - Mercury 1997 Cougar Manual

There are two light sensors (photocells) in this
mirror. The sensor that detects rear glare is
located inside a widow in the center of the
mirror. The second light sensor which
determines outside light level is located on the
backside of the mirror case.
NOTE: Do not block the sensor on the
backside of the mirror (i.e., with a
parking tag, car deodorizer, etc.) since
this may impair proper mirror
performance.
One important safety feature is that the mirror
automatically returns to the normal position
whenever the vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)
(when the mirror is in the ON position). This
feature ensures a bright clear view in the mirror
when backing up.
