Where is the rearview mirror heating button on the new Sportage?

[Ida]

The rearview mirror heating button on the new Sportage is located on the front left side of the driver's door panel. There is a rearview mirror icon with three upward wavy arrows—press it to activate. The rearview mirror heating function is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rainwater 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 rearview mirror control knob—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate. No manual angle adjustment is needed, as the driver's side has a dedicated control button. 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 (usually between 35-60°C) within minutes, distributing heat across both left and right mirrors. As the temperature rises, water droplets on the mirror surface evaporate, and fog gradually dissipates, effectively clearing frost and condensation. 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 activating it while the engine is off. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: 1. Opening windows slightly to create air circulation between the inside and outside of the car, reducing temperature differences and allowing fog to dissipate naturally. 2. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to blow warm air, which helps clear fog from the mirrors.
