Where are the heated rearview mirrors on the BMW 5 Series?

Pacific Automotive Network's BMW 5 Series rearview mirrors are intelligent temperature-controlled. They can work automatically as long as the wipers are turned on. When the corresponding indicator light lights up, the heating of the exterior rearview mirrors will automatically start. After the car is started, the rearview mirror heating function will sense the temperature and will automatically turn on when the temperature is lower than 15 degrees.

In fact, the working principle of electric heated rearview mirrors is very simple, and the cost is not very high. It is to install an electric heating sheet (electric heating film) in the lenses of the rearview mirrors on both sides. In rainy and snowy weather, When the car owner turns on the electric heating function of the rearview mirror, the electric heater will quickly heat to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, usually between 35-60 degrees Celsius, thereby heating the lens, defogging and defrosting the lens.

The heated rearview mirrors of the BMW 5 Series are very useful on rainy days. The electric rearview mirrors, which are the reflectors on both sides of the window, can be heated. There is no need to adjust the angle with your hands. It is electric. The BMW 5 Series has a control button on the left side of the steering wheel to adjust the angle of the mirror. Second, the mirror can be automatically heated. When it rains or snows, the water droplets or snow on the mirror can be dried, so that it will not affect the view.

The BMW 5 Series has a button for folding the rearview mirror on the driver's side door panel. The approximate location of the folding button that is pressed is on the upper right side of the door, and the left and right doors are symmetrical. Press this button to fold the mirrors.
