Where is the rearview mirror heating button on the Avalon?

The rearview mirror heating switch for the X-Trail is located on the far right of the air conditioning control panel in the center console. It shares the same button as the vehicle's rear window defroster, labeled "REAR." To activate it, simply press the button, but note that the vehicle must be powered on for the function to work. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rain or fog, eliminating the need for frequent manual wiping and 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 power-adjustable mirror control knob—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel, where pressing the heating button activates the function. No manual angle adjustment is needed, as the driver's side has a dedicated control button. How the rearview mirror heating function works: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a set temperature, usually between 35-60°C, within minutes. Heat is distributed across both left and right mirrors. As the temperature rises, water droplets on the mirror surface shrink due to evaporation, and fog gradually dissipates, effectively defrosting the mirrors. However, in heavy rain, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The heating function relies on electric heating wires embedded in the mirrors, which consume significant power. Ensure the vehicle is running when using this feature to avoid draining the battery, which could prevent the car from starting. Avoid using the heating function while the car is stationary for extended periods. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly to create airflow between the inside and outside of the car, reducing temperature differences and allowing fog to dissipate naturally. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also direct warm air to the mirrors, aiding in defogging.
