Where is the MG5 rearview mirror heating switch located?
1 Answers
The MG5 rearview mirror heating switch is located on the air conditioning control panel, marked with three curved upward arrows and a rectangle. The rearview mirror heating function is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for frequent manual wiping by the driver and reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: There are generally two ways to activate the rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment button—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is required, as the driver's side has an adjustment button. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature (usually between 35-60°C) within minutes, distributing heat to both left and right mirrors. As the temperature rises, water droplets on the mirror surface evaporate, and fog gradually disappears, effectively clearing the mirror. However, in heavy rain, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The heating function works by using electric heating wires embedded in the mirror, which consume significant power. Ensure the car is running when using this feature to avoid draining the battery, which could prevent the car from starting. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly to allow air convection between the inside and outside of the car, reducing temperature differences and gradually dissipating fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also use warm air to defog the mirrors.
