How to Heat Rearview Mirrors?
2 Answers
First, enter the main driver's cabin of the vehicle. There is a row of air conditioning control buttons on the center console, which includes the button for controlling the rearview mirror heating. Then, locate the rearview mirror heating switch in the button area. Press this rearview mirror heating switch to activate the heating function for the rearview mirrors.
I find the rearview mirror heating function particularly practical, especially on rainy days when I rely on it. Usually, you can find a rectangular button with a wavy arrow symbol on the center console; pressing it activates the heating wires. Some cars automatically turn it on, for example, when the temperature drops below 20°C and you turn on the rear defroster, the rearview mirrors start heating as well. In high-end vehicles, you can even set the heating duration via the central control screen. This function relies on electric heating elements, so it's advisable to pause for a while after using it for more than 15 minutes to prevent overheating and damaging the mirror. When using it, remember that turning on the rear window defroster simultaneously enhances the effect, but avoid turning it on unnecessarily in summer, as the glass might get too hot and risk cracking.
