Buick Envision's exterior mirror heating refers to the reflective mirrors on both sides of the windows. Below are some details about the heated mirrors: 1. This function eliminates the need for manual angle adjustment, as there is usually a control button near the driver's seat to adjust the mirror's angle. 2. During rain or snow, it can dry the water droplets or snow on the mirror surface, ensuring clear visibility. Additional information: 1. Principle of the mirror heating function: An electric heating element is installed inside the mirror lenses on both sides, which heats the mirrors to evaporate moisture on the surface. 2.

That Buick Envision's exterior rearview mirror heating function, I use it quite often when driving this car, especially on humid winter days when the mirrors are icy or fogged up. Just press the button in the air conditioning control area to activate the heating, and it quickly melts the frost layer to clear the mirrors. This feature is designed to be simple and efficient, requiring no complicated operations, usually taking effect within minutes, effectively improving driving visibility. Compared to regular cleaning, it saves time and effort, but be careful not to switch it on and off too frequently to prolong its lifespan. If the effectiveness diminishes, check common issues like fuses or aging wiring—most repair shops can handle these minor maintenance details.
