How to Turn On the Rearview Mirror Heating in the 2021 Sagitar?
3 Answers
Entering the driver's cabin, you can see the rearview mirror heating button located on the left side of the center console. By default, the rearview mirror heating is turned off, and the indicator light above it is off. Press the rearview mirror heating button to turn it on. The indicator light above will illuminate, indicating that the rearview mirror is currently in the heating state.
I've driven Volkswagen cars for many years, including the 2021 Sagitar. The rearview mirror heating function is very easy to operate: after starting the engine, look for the button with the heating symbol near the air conditioning control area on the center console—the icon looks like curved lines with small dots, just press it directly to turn it on. It's especially useful on rainy or snowy days, as it can melt fog or rainwater within minutes, ensuring clear rearview mirrors. During heavy fog, I relied on it to see the road conditions behind me and change lanes safely. But don't worry about power consumption—it usually turns off automatically. If the button isn't obvious, check the user manual for detailed illustrations. Remember, this function only works when the car is running, so don’t try it when the engine is off. As an experienced driver, I recommend preheating it for a few seconds in humid weather before driving to improve visibility and peace of mind.
When I first got the car, I wasn't familiar with this feature, but later I learned it myself: The rearview mirror heating button for the 2021 Sagitar is located on the center console, right next to the air conditioning controls, marked with a heating icon. After starting the car, just press the button to activate it, which is very effective for clearing fog on the mirrors during rainy days. The first time I tried it was on a frosty morning, and the mirrors cleared up quickly after pressing the button—it felt pretty amazing. There are no complicated steps in operating it, making it easy for beginners to use. I also noticed that on cold days, it prevents the mirrors from icing over, indirectly improving safety. The manual mentions not to leave it on for too long to save battery, so I only use it when necessary. If the button doesn't work, check the settings menu or the manual for its location. With a bit of practice, it becomes second nature, making safe driving even easier.
