Where is the rearview mirror heating button on the Teana?
1 Answers
The rearview mirror heating button on the Teana is the same as the rear windshield defogging button, located on the air conditioning panel, and both can be activated simultaneously. 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 rain or fog from the mirror, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirror manually and 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 required, as there is an adjustment button on the driver's side. 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. As the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually shrink, and fog slowly disappears, 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 principle of rearview mirror heating involves electric heating wires embedded in the mirror, which consume a significant amount of power. When using this function, ensure the car is running. Avoid activating the rearview mirror heating while the vehicle is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which could leave insufficient power to start the engine. 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.
