An automotive expert has taken to TikTok to share a hidden feature that can be found on many modern cars to improve visibility and safety.<\/p>\n

DoneDealMotors is a used vehicle website based in Ireland and has a TikTok channel which shares driving tips and looks at some of the most popular models.<\/p>\n

In a recent video, a member of the company shared how drivers can quickly heat up their door mirrors, removing any mist or raindrops from the surface.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cAlright, here\u2019s a cool little tip that not everyone might know. So, when your wing mirrors are all fogged up, you don\u2019t actually need to go like this [wipe them].<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you just turn this knob to there, and then go over here and click \u2018rear\u2019, it actually demists.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the video, the presenter advised motorists not to wipe the door mirrors clean when they are misty and instead press two buttons.<\/p>\n

First, he noted that the electronic door mirror control, typically found on the driver\u2019s door, should be set to the icon featuring a mirror and three rays of heat.<\/p>\n

Then, near to the heater controls, the presenter pressed the button that turns on the heated rear windscreen, which will also increase the temperature of the mirrors.<\/p>\n

One viewer wrote: \u201cDon\u2019t put your window down when it\u2019s wet. All that moisture gets trapped in the door.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another advised: \u201cI just push demist back window and it does the mirrors as well, without the extra button.\u201d<\/p>\n
