How to activate the rearview mirror heating in Audi Q3?
2 Answers
Audi Q3's rearview mirror has a one-touch heating button. The rotary knob can be turned to three positions: left, middle, and right, representing the left rearview mirror, rearview mirror heating, and right rearview mirror respectively. Introduction to rearview mirrors: 1. Function: To facilitate the driver's operation, prevent traffic safety accidents, and ensure personal safety. All countries require that cars must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable. 2. Heating function: The rearview mirror heating function refers to the heating of the mirror surface through embedded electric heating wires when driving in rainy, snowy, or foggy weather, ensuring a clear view. The heating of the exterior rearview mirror, like the headlight cleaning, is a linked function that is easily overlooked.
I've been driving an Audi Q3 for several years, and the rearview mirror heating is a lifesaver on rainy or cold days. The operation is super simple: just find the small button with a mirror and wavy lines on the driver's side door panel, press it, and it activates. The heating quickly clears away fog or ice. The button is positioned similarly to the air conditioning controls, and when activated, a small indicator light glows slightly. It automatically turns off after about 10-15 minutes to save power. Be careful not to leave it on continuously before turning off the car, as it can drain the battery. If the rain is too heavy or the temperature is too low and the effect isn't noticeable, try restarting the car's system or cleaning any dirt off the mirror surface. Remember to regularly check the door wiring connections to avoid aging issues that could affect functionality. I use it often in winter—it's safe and convenient, and I always make a habit of pressing this button before starting the car.
