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

Murano's rearview mirror heating button is a push-button switch located on the control panel, featuring a square frame with three upward curved arrows inside. Pressing this button activates the rearview mirror heating function. Principle of rearview mirror heating: Electric heating elements (heating films) are installed inside the mirrors on both sides. During 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 deicing the mirrors. The rearview mirror heating button icon should be distinguished from the front windshield defroster button: A fan-shaped symbol with three upward curved arrows indicates the front windshield defroster, while a square frame with three upward curved arrows represents the rearview mirror heating function.
I've been driving this Murano for two years, and the rearview mirror heating feature is incredibly practical. The button is located on the air conditioning panel, with an icon resembling a windshield with a curved arrow. Every time it rains or fogs up in winter, pressing it clears the mirror surface in just three minutes. It shares the same button with the rear defroster and turns off automatically after use. Remember, the car must be running for this feature to work – once I spent ages trying it in the underground garage before realizing the engine was off. Mornings when driving the kids to school, I used to dread foggy mirrors, but now one press solves both problems, even clearing condensation from the rear window.
When driving the Murano on long trips, I often encounter rainy and foggy weather. The rearview mirror heating button is located next to the air conditioning adjustment knob, shaped like a fan symbol with heat waves. I've found this feature is used more frequently in winter than summer - it quickly melts frost at sub-zero temperatures, preventing dangerous lane changes on highways. However, note that it may activate slower in extremely cold conditions; once in northern China at -15°C, it took 7-8 minutes to take effect. Look carefully in the functional area on the left side of the steering wheel, and don't confuse it with the mirror folding button.
