ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a system and method for clearing an external driving mirror on a vehicle. The system and method comprise providing a stream of compressed air to clear water, dirt, and/or other substances from the reflective surface of an external driving mirror. This system uses the air source of the vehicle in conjunction with a safety pressure protection valve. This pressure protection valve will shut down the mirror clearing system in the event that the vehicle's primary air system cannot provide a certain minimum amount of air pressure.
