The rearview mirror heating function on the Camry is controlled by buttons located on the right side of the driver's seat. When the owner activates the rearview mirror heating function, the heating element will quickly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, thereby heating the mirror to remove fog and frost. Principle of rearview mirror heating: Heating elements (heating films) are installed inside the mirrors on both sides. During rainy or snowy weather, when the owner turns on the rearview mirror heating function, the heating elements will quickly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, thereby heating the mirror to remove fog and frost. Rearview mirror heating switch: Knob-type switch: On the driver's side door, there is a knob on the left front with several symbols: L, 0, R, and a heating symbol. The heating symbol represents the rearview mirror heating switch, which is shaped like a square box with three upward curved arrows inside. Turning the knob to the heating symbol activates the rearview mirror heating function. Button-type switch: On the control panel, the switch is shaped like a square box with three upward curved arrows inside. Pressing the button activates the rearview mirror heating function.
I recall that the rearview mirror heating button for the Camry is usually located on the center console panel near the steering wheel, often integrated with the rear window defogger button. The button features an icon of a small window with wavy lines, symbolizing the defogging and dehumidifying function. When driving my Camry in rainy or foggy weather, I frequently use this button: start the car, then press it to activate the rearview mirror heating. The mirror surfaces gradually warm up to melt water droplets, instantly clearing the view. When I first bought the car, I even checked the manual to confirm its location—some older models had it as a separate button, but newer versions combine the function into a single control. If you can't find it, I recommend checking the fuse box or connector. In winter, avoid scraping icy mirrors; just turn on the heating and wait a few minutes—it's effortless and protects the glass. Developing this habit prevents distractions while driving, making it much safer.
