Where is the rearview mirror heating button on the 2021 Excelle?

[DeRhett]

The rearview mirror heating button on the Excelle is located on the air conditioning control panel. The rearview mirror heating function is connected in series with the rear windshield defrost function. It is represented by a square frame containing three upward-curving arrows. The rearview mirror heating feature is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for drivers to manually wipe the mirrors frequently, thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: There are generally two ways to activate the rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment button—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is needed, as the driver's side has adjustment buttons. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat is then distributed across the left and right rearview mirrors. Meanwhile, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually shrink, and fog slowly dissipates, effectively heating the mirror and removing frost. However, if the rain is particularly heavy, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves adding electric heating wires to the mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of power. When using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in an active state. Avoid activating the function while the car is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which could leave insufficient power for starting the vehicle. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air circulation: Crack open the side windows slightly to allow air exchange between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and gradually eliminating fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also help defog the mirrors by blowing warm air.
