Volkswagen rearview mirror heating switch location is as follows: The Volkswagen Tiguan rearview mirror heating switch is located on the rearview mirror adjustment switch. The rearview mirror heating function refers to when the car is driving in rainy, snowy, or foggy weather, the rearview mirror can be heated by the electric heating wire embedded behind the mirror to ensure the mirror surface remains clear. Additional information: The Volkswagen rearview mirror heating function has several activation restrictions. In addition to needing to select the heating function on the door panel switch, the outside temperature must also be below 20 degrees Celsius for it to activate. Therefore, when the outside temperature is above 20 degrees Celsius, even if the heating function is turned on, the heater will not work.
The rearview mirror heating switch for Volkswagen is typically a small button or knob located near the driver's side door handle, featuring an icon resembling three wavy lines, which represents the heating function. In my car, it's installed right by the door, and a simple twist activates it. During rainy or snowy weather, the mirrors are prone to fogging or icing up. Pressing this button a few seconds in advance can quickly clear the fog, instantly improving visibility and making driving safer. If you can't find it, you can refer to the user manual, which includes diagrams—the location varies slightly depending on the model. It's a good habit to familiarize yourself with the switch position during daily driving to avoid fumbling in sudden bad weather. This small detail can prevent accidents. I also recommend regularly cleaning the mirror surface to ensure optimal heating performance. Though it's a minor feature, it's highly practical—don't overlook it.
