The rearview mirror heating function button in the T-Roc is located on the door handle, next to the car window control buttons, marked by a rectangle with three upward-curving arrows inside. To heat the rearview mirrors, simply turn the knob to the marked position for the rearview mirror heating function. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rain or fog, eliminating the need for frequent manual wiping by the driver and reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: There are generally two ways to activate the rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment button—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is needed, as the driver's side has an adjustment button. 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 minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. Heat is then emitted from both left and right rearview mirrors. As the temperature rises, water droplets on the mirror surface evaporate, and fog gradually disappears, effectively defrosting 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 car is running when using this function to avoid draining the , which could prevent the car from starting. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly to allow air convection 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.

I've been driving the T-Roc for almost three years now, and the rearview mirror heating feature is particularly useful, especially in rainy or foggy weather. Take a look at the air control panel on the center console – there's a rectangular button with wavy lines on the left side; that's the switch. Press it with your finger, and when the indicator light turns on, it means the heating function is activated, and the heating wires on the back of the mirror start working. Remember to press it after starting the vehicle, otherwise it won't work. On winter mornings when there's frost, I also turn it on a few minutes in advance, and the ice on the glass melts really quickly. However, don't forget to turn it off after use, as it can drain the and potentially damage the circuit. Additionally, if you have the automatic air conditioning version, you can also activate this function by holding down the MAX button for 3 seconds, which is quite convenient.

When I first bought the T-Roc, I couldn't find this button either. Later, I discovered it's hidden on the far left of the air conditioning panel. The icon is a rectangular frame with wavy lines resembling water ripples inside, and its position is quite noticeable. Every time I drive out on rainy days, I press it casually, and within five minutes, the water droplets on the mirror disappear, making the view super clear. This feature is literally a lifesaver during the southern rainy season; the rearview mirror never gets foggy again. However, it's worth noting that turning on the rear window defogger button simultaneously consumes more electricity. For short trips, it's recommended to use the rearview mirror heating alone, which is both economical and practical.

The rearview mirror heating button of the T-Roc is located right next to the air conditioning knob. Just press and hold the square button with a wavy line. It's especially useful on rainy or snowy days, as the moisture will dissipate after about three minutes of heating. Unlike other cars, the T-Roc's heating function is indicated by a green light. I find this feature most practical in cold weather. Starting it a few minutes before driving in the morning causes the frost on the mirrors to melt directly into water droplets and flow away, which is much safer than manually wiping the mirrors. However, prolonged use can lead to aging of the mirror coating, so it's recommended to turn off the button promptly after each use.

When looking for the rearview mirror heating button, remember to check the bottom row of function keys on the air conditioning panel. The first one on the left is the one—its icon is three wavy lines inside a square. Press it and a small yellow light will turn on. I usually use it during heavy rain on the highway, and it clears the rearview mirrors incredibly fast. It’s even more responsive than Mercedes' heating system. I tested it in winter at -10°C, and it melted a 3mm-thick layer of ice in under seven minutes. However, keep in mind that this function only works when the ignition is on—it automatically turns off when the engine is off. Also, if the rear window defroster is broken, this feature might not work either.

The rearview mirror heating switch for the T-Roc is located in the center console air conditioning panel. Look for the small square button with three wavy lines in the middle. I usually turn it on before driving, so by the time I get in the car, the mirrors are already clear. Compared to wiping with a towel, heating to remove fog keeps the mirror surface free of water stains. I once tested its effectiveness during a heavy rainstorm: fog started to clear after 30 seconds and was completely gone in 5 minutes. Remember to check the button's white indicator light—when lit, it means the system is working. New owners should be careful not to confuse it with the front windshield defogger button next to it, which has a fan-shaped icon instead of a rectangular one.
