Where is the rearview mirror heating button on the new Excelle?
2 Answers
The rearview mirror heating button on the new Excelle is located on the air conditioning control panel. The rearview mirror heating function is connected in series with the rear windshield defrosting function. By pressing the rear window defogging button on the central air conditioning panel, both the rearview mirror heating and rear window defogging functions are activated simultaneously, and the indicator light on the button will illuminate. The new Excelle is a compact car under SAIC-GM Buick, equipped with a 1.4T DVVT turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163 hp, a maximum power of 120 kW, and a maximum torque of 230 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I found that the rearview mirror heating button of the new Excelle is located right on the central control air conditioning panel. Take a look at the left side of the button area—the icon resembles a small square mirror with wavy lines, representing the heating function. A friend of mine who drives this car often uses it to defog during rainy or snowy weather. Press it one or two minutes after starting the car; no need to keep it on continuously to save battery life. The effect is quite fast—within minutes, the mirror becomes clear as new, making it especially suitable for mornings with frost or foggy road conditions. He also reminded me to regularly clean the mirror surface to prevent dirt from blocking the heating panel, which could reduce effectiveness. If you're unsure about the location, try checking around page 78 of the owner's manual for detailed illustrations to avoid pressing the wrong button. Safety comes first—this small feature may seem insignificant, but it greatly improves visibility and reduces the risk of rear-end collisions, particularly useful on highways during rainy or foggy weather. For maintenance, just keep the button area clean from dust and avoid excessively frequent activation to prevent circuit issues.
