The rearview mirror heating switch on the 2021 Teana is the same button as the rear window heating. On the air conditioning panel, there is a square button with an upward arrow, which serves as the switch. The rearview mirror heating 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 mirror frequently and thus 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 required, as the driver's side has a dedicated 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. The heat dissipates from both left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually shrink, and fog slowly disappears, effectively defogging and deicing the mirror. However, if the rain is particularly heavy, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves adding electric heating wires to the mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of power. When using this function, ensure the car is in an active state (engine running). Avoid activating the rearview mirror heating while the car is stationary to prevent draining the battery, which could lead to insufficient power for starting the car. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air circulation: Crack open both side windows slightly to allow air exchange between the inside and outside of the car. This reduces the temperature difference, causing the fog to gradually disappear. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also help, as blowing warm air from the AC can effectively remove fog.

I remember when I drove the 2021 Teana, the rearview mirror heating switch was quite easy to find. It usually shares the same button with the rear window defroster, located above the center console, marked with a rectangle featuring three wavy lines. Pressing it would clear the mirrors within minutes, which was especially useful on rainy or foggy days. This thoughtful design avoids cluttering the dashboard with extra buttons. I’d habitually press it in humid weather, saving me the hassle of stopping to wipe the mirrors and enhancing driving safety. Many cars now integrate functions this way—intuitively placed and straightforward, making it easy for new owners to navigate without confusion.

As a car enthusiast who loves tinkering with vehicle features, the 2021 Teana's rearview mirror heating function is actually integrated with the rear window defogger. The button is marked with small wavy lines or a heating icon, usually located near the air conditioning panel. Pressing it activates the heating filaments gradually, which helps remove fog and water droplets from the mirror surface, improving visibility. I always pay attention to these small design details when driving, as they simplify operations by eliminating the need for additional switches, making it convenient and efficient. However, it's worth noting that if the button doesn't respond when pressed, it might indicate a blown fuse or circuit issue, and it's advisable to have it checked at a service center for peace of mind.

As an older driver, I prioritize safety above all. Finding the rearview mirror heating button on the 2021 Teana is quite simple - it shares the same button with the rear window defroster, the one with the heating lines symbol, located near the air conditioning controls. When pressed, the mirrors warm up to reduce fogging in cold, humid weather. I often remind myself and family members to use this feature while driving to prevent accidents caused by obscured vision. During routine maintenance, checking the button's responsiveness is also a handy tip. In short, this thoughtful design is both convenient and practical, playing a significant role in driving safety - never underestimate the importance of such details.
