Where is the rearview mirror heating button on the Tiggo 8?

The rearview mirror heating button on the Tiggo 8 shares the same button with the rear windshield heating. Among the physical air conditioning buttons, there is one with a small rearview mirror icon next to the front windshield symbol - that's the button. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog from the mirror. This eliminates the need for drivers to frequently wipe the mirrors manually, 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 mirror adjustment button - simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel - just press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is needed as there's an adjustment button on the driver's side. Principle of rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass will quickly raise the temperature to a fixed level (usually between 35-60 degrees Celsius) within minutes, with heat radiating from both side mirrors. Meanwhile, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface become smaller and fog gradually disappears, effectively defrosting and demisting the mirrors. However, the effect may be less noticeable during particularly heavy rain. Precautions for using rearview mirror heating: The heating principle involves electric heating wires embedded in the mirrors, which consume significant power. Always ensure the vehicle is running when using this function. Avoid activating rearview mirror heating when the car is stationary to prevent battery drain that might leave insufficient power to start the engine. Other methods for rearview mirror defogging include: Window convection: Open both side windows slightly to create air flow between inside and outside the car, reducing temperature differences and allowing fog to gradually disappear. Adjust the car's air conditioning to an appropriate setting to use warm air for defogging.
