Where is the rearview mirror heating switch for the 2021 Nissan Qashqai?
1 Answers
The rearview mirror heating button for the 2021 Nissan Qashqai is located on the control panel, featuring a square frame with three upward-curving arrows inside. Pressing this button activates the rearview mirror heating function. This feature is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rain or fog, eliminating the need for manual wiping 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 needed, as the driver's side has adjustment buttons. 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. Heat is then emitted from both left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, the rising temperature causes water droplets on the mirror to shrink and fog to gradually disappear, effectively defrosting the mirror. However, in heavy rain, its effectiveness may diminish. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The heating function works via 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. Alternative methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly to allow air convection between inside and outside the car, reducing temperature differences and gradually eliminating fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to an appropriate setting to blow warm air for defogging.
