Where is the rearview mirror heating switch for the ix35?
1 Answers
The rearview mirror heating switch for the Hyundai ix35 is located on the air conditioning control panel. There is a square-shaped switch with an upward arrow on it. Pressing this switch will activate the rearview mirror heating function. The rearview mirror heating feature 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 the driver to manually wipe the mirror frequently 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 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 dissipates, effectively clearing the mirror of frost and condensation. However, in heavy rain, its effectiveness may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions when 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 vehicle is running. Avoid activating the rearview mirror heating while the car is stationary to prevent draining the battery and potentially leaving insufficient power to start the engine. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly to allow air circulation 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 to blow warm air for defogging.
