The rearview mirror heating function on the Tiggo 8plus is located on the control panel, represented by a square icon with three upward-curving arrows inside. Pressing this button activates the rearview mirror heating feature. This function 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 the driver to manually wipe the mirrors frequently, thereby reducing driving hazards. The rearview mirror heating function can be activated in two ways: one is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment knob—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. There's no need to manually adjust the angle, as the driver's side has adjustment buttons. When the button is pressed, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, within a few minutes. The heat is then distributed across the left and right rearview mirrors. As the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually shrink, and fog slowly dissipates, effectively defogging and deicing the mirror. However, in extremely heavy rain, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. The rearview mirror heating function works by incorporating electric heating wires into the mirrors, which consume a significant amount of power. Therefore, it's essential to ensure the car is running when using this feature. Avoid activating rearview mirror heating while the car is stationary to prevent draining the battery, which could leave insufficient power for starting the vehicle. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly to allow air circulation 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.

During my daily driving of the Tiggo 8, I discovered that the rearview mirror heating button is actually integrated with the rear window defogger button. It is usually located on the control panel of the center console, marked with an icon resembling a small fan or labeled with a rear glass heating symbol. Activating the rearview mirror heating is simple—just press that button, and it can quickly melt frost on the mirror surface during rain or snow, improving visibility. I remember once driving on the highway in the rain; using it kept the mirrors clear, significantly enhancing driving safety. However, it's important not to leave it on for too long, as it may drain the battery or damage the wiring. Overall, this is a practical feature, especially in rainy regions, and regularly checking if the button functions properly can prevent unexpected malfunctions.

As someone who frequently handles car maintenance, I'm well aware of the location of the Tiggo 8's rearview mirror heating button. It shares the same button as the rear window defroster, typically positioned near the center console or air conditioning controls, often marked with a fan symbol or a heated mirror icon. Pressing it activates the heating elements, which transmit warmth through the wiring. This feature is crucial, especially in foggy conditions, to prevent obstructed vision. However, users should note: if the button doesn't respond when pressed, it might indicate a wiring short circuit or a blown fuse, necessitating a prompt check of the battery's condition. I recommend that car owners make it a habit to test this function during seasonal changes to ensure safe driving.

When I first bought the Tiggo 8, it took me some time to locate the rearview mirror heating button. Turns out, it's integrated with the rear window defogger button in the air conditioning control panel. The icon is a small fan shape—pressing it gradually clears the mirrors, especially handy in winter. I occasionally use it for defogging and find it quite convenient, though I advise against over-reliance. For fellow new owners, I'd remind them not to confuse its position with the mirror adjustment button; the former is more toward the center console. A quick test should suffice to avoid mistakes.
