How to Turn On the Heated Rearview Mirror in CT5 Luxury?

[KendraRose]

The heated rearview mirror function is activated simultaneously with the rear windshield defogging function. Press the rear windshield defogging button on the air conditioning panel to start it. The heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rain or fog from the mirror, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirror manually. When the owner turns on the defogging function, the electric heating function of the rearview mirror is also activated. The electric heating element rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, thereby heating the mirror and achieving defogging and defrosting effects.

When I first drove the Cadillac CT5 Luxury Edition, I was also confused about where to turn on the rearview mirror heating function. After some exploration, I found a cluster of small buttons on the left side of the steering wheel in the center console area, one of which is the heating button with a wavy or fan icon. Pressing it to light up activates the heating, and the effect of clearing rain and fog is noticeable. That time when I went out in the rain, the blurry rearview mirror almost caused an accident. Since then, I’ve developed the habit of turning it on during rainy or cold weather, making driving much safer. Remember not to keep it on all the time to avoid draining the battery too quickly. It usually shares the same button as the rear window defogging function. For daily maintenance, it’s advisable to check if the button is stuck or if the fuse is blown—simple and easy to handle. After driving for over three years, this feature has saved me a lot of hassle.

I've been driving the Cadillac CT5 Luxury Edition for several years, and operating the rearview mirror heating is quite simple. Just locate the button with a heating symbol near the dashboard, press it gently until the light comes on to activate it. It's most practical during rainy days or morning fog, quickly evaporating water droplets to improve visibility and safety. I usually turn it on in advance when driving on highways or wet road sections, using it in combination with the rear window defogger for better results with the automatic temperature control system. Don't worry about the button being hard to find—the center console layout is intuitive. If it doesn't respond, check the fuse box, but my car has never had any issues. Since developing this habit, I've never had any visibility-related problems while driving.

The heated mirror button for my Cadillac CT5 Luxury Edition is located on the center console panel next to the steering wheel, with an icon resembling a water droplet or heating element. Press it until the light turns on. When driving in rainy or cold weather, turning it on quickly eliminates water droplets, significantly improving visibility. Remember not to keep it on for too long to avoid adding extra load to the vehicle. If the button doesn't work, check if the fuse is blown—it's a simple fix. Using it in conjunction with the rear window defroster enhances the effect, and the whole operation takes just a few seconds. Frequent use of this feature while driving saves a lot of hassle.

The rearview mirror heating function of the Cadillac CT5 Luxury Edition is very intuitive to activate. Look for the dedicated button on the center console or instrument panel, usually marked with wavy lines. Press it, and the activation light will indicate it's working. I use it to ensure clear visibility during rain or fog, and the button is cleverly designed to prevent accidental touches. After operation, pairing it with the rear window defogger yields better results. If the heating seems slow, it might be due to dirt on the mirror surface, so regular cleaning helps maintain efficiency. Develop a habit of checking the button as soon as you start the car. This small feature significantly enhances daily driving convenience.
