Where is the window heating switch located on the Audi A5?

Audi A5's window heating control is located on the vehicle's climate control panel. Detailed operation procedure for window heating: There is a specific symbol on the climate control mode switch; First set the climate control to warm air mode, then adjust the mode switch to the correct position. The warm air will blow onto the windshield to achieve the desired effect. Precautions for window heating: Always clear snow from the glass before heating, and ensure any window film installed is high-quality and won't melt or catch fire when heated. If snow isn't removed, the glass may crack due to extreme thermal expansion and contraction; Low-quality window film may melt when the heating elements are activated, potentially causing a fire.
The Audi A5's window heating is actually integrated with the mirror heating function, hidden on the mirror adjustment knob located on the driver's side door armrest. See that small rotary knob? Turn it to the position with the heating symbol, usually a small square icon with wavy lines. This feature is especially useful in winter or rainy weather, as it quickly defogs and de-ices. By the way, remember that the car needs to be running with normal battery voltage to activate the heating wires. Whenever my mirrors fog up, I just turn this knob and the fog on the windows disappears effortlessly – it's really convenient.
Looking for the window heating function? Actually, Audi designed it quite ergonomically - it's integrated into the mirror adjustment knob on the door armrest. While driving, just feel for that circular knob, turn it clockwise all the way until you hear a click, and it's activated. This heating system doesn't just warm the mirrors - it also heats the edges of the front, rear, and side windows. Super useful when driving on highways in rainy weather, as raindrops evaporate instantly upon touching the glass. But I'd recommend not keeping it on too long, as excessive heat might damage window tint films. Remember to turn it back to the middle position after defogging.
The window heating switch is located on the left door armrest, sharing the same knob with the rearview mirror heating. Turn the small graduated knob clockwise to the end to activate it, indicated by three wavy arrows. It takes about 3 minutes to take effect when the car is cold, not as fast as seat heating. Last time I tried it on a rainy day, the water droplets on the rearview mirror disappeared the fastest, and the fog on the triangular areas of the front windshield also cleared up, while the side windows took longer. Remember to use the warm air defroster in combination for double assurance and peace of mind.
