The rearview mirror heating switch button on the 2020 RAV4 Feng Shang is located on the air conditioning control panel and shares the same button with the rear window defroster. The button features a rectangle with three upward-curving arrows at the bottom. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rain or fog from the mirror, eliminating the need for the driver to manually wipe the mirrors frequently, thereby reducing driving hazards. 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. Meanwhile, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually shrink, and fog slowly dissipates, effectively defrosting and de-fogging the mirror. However, in heavy rain, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for 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. Ensure the vehicle is running when using this function to avoid draining the car battery, which could prevent the car from starting. Avoid activating the rearview mirror heating function while the car is stationary. 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.
