The rearview mirror heating switch on the X3 is located on the left front side of the driver's side door. The X3 rearview mirror heating switch is a rotary knob type switch with several symbols: L, 0, R, and a heating symbol. The heating symbol represents the rearview mirror heating function and is depicted as a square frame containing three upward-curving arrows. To activate the rearview mirror heating function, simply rotate the knob to the heating symbol. Function of the rearview mirror heating: The rearview mirror heating function ensures clear visibility by using heating wires embedded behind the mirror surface to defog or defrost the mirror during rainy, snowy, or foggy weather conditions. Principle of the rearview mirror heating: Both side mirrors are equipped with heating elements (heating films). When the rearview mirror heating function is activated in inclement weather, these heating elements quickly warm up to a set temperature (usually between 35-60°C) within minutes, effectively removing fog and frost from the mirror surface. Considerations for retrofitting rearview mirror heating: Rearview mirror heating can be retrofitted, but the wiring must comply with safety standards and should not interfere with other critical vehicle circuits.
