Nissan Sylphy's rearview mirror heating is controlled by the button below the A/C switch, which is the rear windshield heating button. Location of rearview mirror heating: The rearview mirror and rear windshield are heated simultaneously. The Nissan New Sylphy standard version does not come with rearview mirror heating, as this feature is an optional upgrade for higher trim levels. Therefore, when installed, it is typically connected to the rear windshield heating system. Function of rearview mirror heating: The rearview mirror heating function refers to the ability of the rearview mirrors to be heated via electric heating wires embedded behind the mirror surfaces during rainy, snowy, or foggy weather conditions, ensuring clear visibility. The working principle of electrically heated mirrors is simple and relatively low-cost. An electric heating element is installed inside the mirror panels on both sides. When activated during inclement weather, the heating element quickly reaches a set temperature (usually between 35-60 degrees Celsius) within minutes, effectively defogging and defrosting the mirror surfaces.
I've been driving a Sylphy for several years. The rearview mirror heating button is usually located in the air conditioning control panel area, with a small wavy line icon on the right side. Sometimes it's integrated next to the rear window defogger button. After starting the vehicle, press it once to activate the heating function, which is particularly useful on rainy or cold days to quickly defog the mirrors and prevent icing. I recommend checking the owner's manual first, as the design may vary slightly between different model years of the Sylphy—for example, some might have it on the center console near the left side of the steering wheel. Remember to ensure the engine is running before use to save battery power and avoid damaging the mirrors. During regular maintenance, clean the mirrors to prevent dust from affecting the heating efficiency, which is crucial for safe driving.
As a car enthusiast, I find the design of the Sylphy's rearview mirror heating button quite clever. It's located on the air conditioning control panel, resembling a small square with wavy lines. I've tried activating it on rainy days, and within two to three minutes, the mirror warms up, providing a clear and safe view. If you can't find it, it might be hidden in the combination switch—try pressing other buttons to see the response. Remember not to leave it on for too long to prevent overheating and circuit damage, and regularly check the wiring connections for security. This feature in the Sylphy is extremely practical in wet and cold weather, enhancing driving comfort.
I just bought a Nissan Sylphy and initially couldn't find the rearview mirror heating button. Turns out there's a button with small waves on the AC panel. Press it and wait a few minutes - when the mirror feels warm, it means it's activated. It's been a huge help during rainy drives by preventing mirror fogging and potential accidents. I recommend new owners like me check the manual or search for reference images online to ensure proper usage. Remember to press the button only after starting the engine to avoid battery drain.
