Where is the rearview mirror heating button on the MG ZS?
4 Answers
The rearview mirror heating button on the MG ZS is located at the far right of the air conditioning switches - it's the last button in the first row. The principle of rearview mirror heating involves installing heating elements behind both side mirror lenses. When activated, these heating elements warm up the mirrors to defog and defrost them. The MG ZS is MG Motor's first internet-connected SUV model, with dimensions of 4314mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1652mm in height, featuring a 2585mm wheelbase. The vehicle comes equipped with features like 6-way power-adjustable driver's seat, power-folding exterior mirrors, rear center headrest, and comes standard with ESP electronic stability program across all trims.
I've been driving my MG ZS for over a year now, and the rearview mirror heating is actually quite convenient to locate. It's not a separate button but integrated with the rear window defogging function. Look for a button on the center console or dashboard with an icon of a small square and airflow waves—pressing it will simultaneously heat both the rear window and the rearview mirrors. On rainy days or when there's frost, just press it, and within minutes the mirrors will clear up, greatly improving visibility. This design saves space and is practical. I always use it with the air conditioning on external circulation to prevent fogging from interfering with driving. Remember not to leave it on continuously; turn it off once the fog clears to avoid putting too much load on the battery. For new cars, check the manual to confirm the button's location, as it might be slightly adjusted in different model years.
As a seasoned driver who's used many cars, the MG ZS's heated mirrors are quite typical, integrated with the rear window defogger button. Look for the button with a curved line icon on the left side of the steering wheel or the center console panel, and press it to activate the heating. It's especially useful on rainy or snowy days when the mirrors fog up and obstruct your view while driving—just press it to clear them up. I usually turn it on in advance during the warm-up phase for quicker results. Note that this feature isn't standard on all versions, so check the configuration when purchasing. If the button malfunctions or stops working, check the fuse or take it to a professional shop for circuit inspection—don't tamper with it yourself. Regularly clean dust off the mirror surfaces to improve heating efficiency.
From an electronic control perspective, the MG ZS's mirror heating is typically connected to the rear window defroster circuit, located at the common defog button position on the main control panel. When you press that button, both functions activate simultaneously, using heating wires to defrost and defog, which greatly assists driving. I prefer checking the button's functionality before driving to ensure one-touch resolution of mirror issues. Compared to models without integrated designs, this all-in-one setup is more convenient. For optimal results, it's best used in conjunction with the warm air conditioning. Avoid continuous use exceeding 15 minutes to prevent circuit overheating and component damage.
