How to Turn on the Rearview Mirror Heating in Volkswagen Magotan?
2 Answers
Magotan is equipped with a rearview mirror heating function. The specific button is located at the lower left of the central control screen. Once the engine is started, pressing this button will gradually heat the rearview mirrors. Introduction to rearview mirror heating: 1. The rearview mirror heating symbol features three curved upward arrows combined with a rectangle. The position of the rearview mirror heating switch may vary across different car models, but the symbols are generally similar. 2. There are two designs for the rearview mirror heating control switch: one is integrated into the electric rearview mirror adjustment switch assembly, and the other is located on the air conditioning control panel. Both serve the same purpose.
As an ordinary Magotan owner, I find the rearview mirror heating function particularly convenient. During rain or heavy fog, I simply press the rear window defogger button on the center console – the one with a rectangular pattern and curved arrow icon. After pressing, it automatically activates the mirror heating function, the heating wires start working, and the rainwater or fog on the mirrors quickly dissipates. This feature is heavily affected by temperature; it only works effectively when the external temperature is low, so I use it most frequently in winter. If there's no response after pressing, it might be because the temperature is too high – for instance, it stops working in summer. I remind myself not to keep it on all the time to avoid increasing fuel consumption; I also check the mirror clarity when parking and take care to avoid the heating area during regular car washes to prevent water damage to the circuits. Overall, Magotan's design is quite intelligent, integrating this function into the rear window button saves extra operations. Every time I use it in bad weather, my driving visibility improves significantly.
