Which Button is for the Mirror Heater?
2 Answers
Three upward-curving arrows paired with a rectangle represent the rearview mirror heating button icon. The rearview mirror heating function refers to when the car is driving in rainy, snowy, or foggy weather, the rearview mirror can be heated via the electric heating wires embedded behind the mirror, ensuring the mirror surface remains clear. This eliminates the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirror manually, thereby reducing driving hazards. Additional information: Below is an introduction to how to use the car's rearview mirror heating function: 1. Press the car's brake pedal to prepare to activate the car's power. 2. Press the vehicle's one-touch start button. 3. The car's dashboard lights up, and the entire car's power is turned on. 4. Press the heat button next to the exterior rearview mirror switch to activate the rearview mirror heating. After turning on the exterior rearview mirror heating function, the water mist on the exterior rearview mirror will gradually dissipate.
I've driven several cars before and noticed that the heated mirror button is usually located in the air conditioning control area. The icon is a rectangle with wavy lines, somewhat resembling the symbol for warm air. When I bought my first car, I couldn't find it either—had to check the manual to locate it. On most models, the button is placed near the driver's side or on the center console, close to the defroster button. This feature is particularly useful in rainy or snowy weather as it quickly clears fog from the side mirrors, ensuring clear visibility. If you can't find the button, don't worry—try checking the manual or searching online for your model's instructions. Some newer cars integrate this function into the touchscreen menu, requiring you to dig through settings. Remember, this only works on the exterior mirrors and doesn't affect the interior rearview mirror. Always turn it off after use to save power and prevent part wear. Ultimately, taking extra time to familiarize yourself with the control layout pays off—safe driving relies on these small details.
