The Excelle does have a rearview mirror heating function. The switch for the rearview mirror heating is located on the vehicle's air conditioning control panel, shaped like a rectangle with three curved lines and arrows from bottom to top. When the vehicle is powered on or started, simply press the button to activate the rearview mirror heating, which simultaneously turns on the rear window defogging function. The rearview mirror heating function is particularly useful in rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rain or fog from the mirror. This eliminates the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirror manually, thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: There are generally two ways to activate the rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment button—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is needed, as there is an adjustment button on the driver's side. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After rotating the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass quickly heats up to a fixed temperature within minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat is then distributed across the left and right rearview mirrors. As the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface become smaller, and fog gradually disappears, effectively defogging the mirror. However, if the rain is particularly heavy, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves adding electric heating wires to the mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of power, so it's essential to ensure the vehicle is running when using this function. Avoid activating the rearview mirror heating while the car is stationary to prevent draining the battery and making it difficult to start the vehicle. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air circulation: Crack open the side windows slightly to allow air exchange between the inside and outside of the car. This reduces the temperature difference, causing the fog to gradually disappear. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also use warm air from the AC to defog the mirrors.
