Where is the rearview mirror heating switch for Audi Q5L?

The rearview mirror heating button for the Audi Q5 is located on the driver's door panel, on the knob used to adjust the left and right rearview mirrors. How to activate the rearview mirror heating: After pressing the button, the electric heating pad behind the rearview mirror glass will quickly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, usually between 35-60 degrees Celsius. Hot air will emerge from both left and right rearview mirrors, and the water droplets on the mirror surface will gradually evaporate and shrink due to the rising temperature, while the fog will slowly disappear. This achieves the effect of heating the mirror, removing fog and frost. The function of rearview mirror heating: The purpose of rearview mirror heating is to remove rainwater or fog from the mirror surface when driving in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog.
I remember struggling for a while to find the rearview mirror heating switch when driving the Audi Q5L, only to discover it's located on the driver's side air conditioning control panel, usually the button with the rear window defrost icon. Pressing it activates the heating. This design is quite thoughtful, as the mirrors and rear window work together to quickly defog during rainy days or winter. I recommend turning it on after the engine starts to avoid draining the battery too quickly. For regular use, remember to check the mirror surface for cleanliness to ensure effectiveness. Overall, this feature is especially useful in humid seasons, keeping the view clear and enhancing driving safety—don't underestimate its importance.
