How do I turn on the power mirror defoggers?

If your Accord is equipped with power mirror defoggers, these can be used to quickly defrost your mirrors on winter mornings. To activate them, just do the following:

  1. Turn the key to on.

  2. Locate the Mirror Defogger button on the dash (directly below the center air vents).

  3. Press the button to turn the defoggers on. Once the mirrors are clear, press the button again to turn them off.

Tip

This button also operates the rear defogger.
