Where is the rearview mirror heating button located on the Mondeo?

The Mondeo's rearview mirror heating button is a push-button switch located on the control panel, featuring a square frame with three upward-curving arrows inside. Pressing the button activates the rearview mirror heating function. Principle of rearview mirror heating: Both side mirrors contain heating elements (electric heating films). In rainy or snowy weather, when the driver activates the rearview mirror heating function, these heating elements quickly warm up to a set temperature (typically between 35-60°C) within minutes, effectively defogging and defrosting the mirrors. The rearview mirror heating button icon should be distinguished from the front windshield defogger button: A fan-shaped symbol with three upward-curving arrows represents the front windshield defroster, while a square frame with three upward-curving arrows indicates the rearview mirror heating function.

I remember when I drove the Mondeo, I often used the rearview mirror heating function, especially on rainy days or winter mornings when fog obscured the mirror, making it dangerous to see behind the car. The button was quite conveniently designed—it's located on the air conditioning control panel near the center console, usually marked with a wavy line or a rear window symbol. Pressing it activates both the rearview mirror and rear window defogging function. Just press it and wait about two minutes, and the mirror will heat up, evaporating the water droplets and clearing your view. I recommend starting the engine to warm up the car first, then activating it for faster results. If you forget the button's location, the owner's manual has detailed diagrams—don’t hesitate to check it. Making good use of this feature can significantly improve driving safety, especially on highways or when taking turns.

As a seasoned car enthusiast talking about this, the Ford Mondeo's rearview mirror heating is integrated into the rear window defroster button. Look for that button in the air conditioning area of the center console, the one with the wavy line icon—press it to activate the heating. I always use it when driving in wet and cold weather; it quickly defrosts and demists both the rearview mirror and the rear window, reducing the risk of accidents due to blind spots. It's conveniently located within easy reach of the driver's seat without interfering with control. Remember to check if the button is working properly before driving—don't wait until a rainy day to scramble for it. An extra reminder: this design is for efficient use of space and energy.

As a new driver, I also often fumbled with these small details. The rearview mirror heating button in the Mondeo is located on the air conditioning panel section of the center console, near the front seat adjustment controls. Just press the button with a wavy pattern, and the mirror will clear up within minutes. It's great for rainy or cold days, making highway driving much safer. The position is clear, not flashy, and easy to operate.
