Where is the mirror heating button on the Audi Q5?
2 Answers
Audi Q5's mirror heating button is located on the driver's door panel, on the knob that adjusts the left and right rearview mirrors. Function of rearview mirror heating: When driving in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog, it heats up to remove rainwater or fog from the mirror surface, ensuring clear visibility. This eliminates the need for the driver to manually wipe the mirrors and reduces driving hazards. Usage notes: Heated mirrors are generally more practical in winter. On winter mornings, you may notice frost on almost all the car's windows, which is difficult to remove with a towel. Frost on the front windshield can be removed by turning on the heater to blow air onto the glass after starting the car. Frost on the rear windshield can be removed by turning on the rear window heating switch, which activates heating wires embedded in the rear window glass.
As someone who has driven an Audi Q5 for several years, I often use the mirror heating function on rainy or cold days. It is actually combined with the rear window defogger button, not a separate one. On the center console's air conditioning control panel, you can find a button with an icon resembling a rectangle with a few wavy lines behind it, representing heating and defogging. Pressing it activates defogging and defrosting for both the rearview mirror and the window. I remember the first time I looked for it, I had to search through the user manual for a while to confirm. This design is very convenient, but some beginners might mistake it for an independent button. Don’t overlook it during regular maintenance—clean mirrors provide better visibility and safer driving. It’s a good habit to activate it in foggy conditions.
