Where is the rearview mirror heating switch located on the Mercedes-Benz GLC260?
1 Answers
The rearview mirror heating switch on the Mercedes-Benz GLC260 is located on the air conditioning control panel. Find the rear window heating button ("REAR") on the air conditioning control panel, and pressing this button will simultaneously heat both the left and right rearview mirror surfaces. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful in rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirrors manually, thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: The rearview mirror heating function generally has two activation methods. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment button—simply rotate the knob to activate it. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is required, 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 will rapidly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat will radiate from both the left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, due to the rising temperature and evaporation, water droplets on the mirror surface will gradually shrink, and fog will slowly disappear, thus heating the mirror and removing frost. If the rain is particularly heavy, its effectiveness may decrease and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves adding electric heating wires to the rearview mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of power. When using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in an active state. Avoid activating the function while the car is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which could leave insufficient power to start the vehicle. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air circulation: Crack open both side windows slightly to allow air exchange between the inside and outside of the car. This reduces the temperature difference, causing the fog to gradually disappear. Adjust the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting to blow hot air for defogging.
