Where is the rearview mirror heating switch on the Teana?

The rearview mirror heating and rear window heating share the same switch, located on the air conditioning panel. Function of rearview mirror heating: After pressing the button, the heating elements behind the rearview mirror glass will quickly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. Steam will emerge from both side mirrors, and water droplets on the mirror surface will gradually evaporate as the temperature rises, while fog will slowly disappear. This achieves the effect of heating the mirror surface, removing fog and frost. Precautions for rearview mirror heating: Each use should not exceed 30 minutes, otherwise it may affect the lifespan and clarity of the mirrors.

Last time I helped a friend locate the rearview mirror heating switch on the Teana, I discovered it's actually quite cleverly hidden. It's the button with a rectangular wavy line symbol on the far left of the center console's air conditioning control area - the same button that operates the rear windshield defroster. When pressed, both the mirrors and rear windshield will heat up simultaneously to clear fog. Important reminder: This function requires the engine to be running to activate, and it's particularly useful on rainy days. Also note that the heating automatically turns off after 15 minutes to prevent damage to the heating elements. Older Teana models have a similar design - if you can't find it, just look for the fog icon on the buttons and you'll usually be right.

You've asked the right person! The Altima's rearview mirror heating doesn't require a separate switch—it's integrated with the rear window defroster button. On the lower left side of the air conditioning panel, there's a square button with a wavy line inside. Press it, and both the rearview mirror and rear window will heat up simultaneously. I've been using this feature for five or six years, and my experience is that turning it on before driving in the rain is most effective. But remember: the vehicle must be started to use it, and in winter, it automatically activates heating protection when the temperature is below 20 degrees. If there's no response after pressing, first check if the car is in neutral or P mode.

The button for the heated mirrors on the Teana is actually quite simple to locate. In the air conditioning control area on the right side of the steering wheel, there's a rear window defogger button (a rectangular box with three wavy lines) at the bottom left. This button serves as a dual-function switch. Press it once to turn on the light, and both the mirrors and the rear window will heat up to defog simultaneously. In real-world testing, the heating effect is quite fast—water droplets evaporate within two to three minutes. Here's a handy tip: activating it immediately after washing the car or during heavy rain works best, as dried water stains are harder to remove.
