Does the 14th-generation Sylphy have a heated rearview mirror function?
1 Answers
The 14th-generation Sylphy is equipped with a heated rearview mirror function. There is no separate switch button for this feature; it shares the same button as the rear windshield defogger, located in the air conditioning control area of the center console, to the left of the fan speed adjustment button. To activate the heated rearview mirror function, simply press this button. The heated rearview mirror is particularly useful in rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to manually wipe the mirrors frequently, thereby reducing driving hazards. The principle of the heated rearview mirror function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. 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 become smaller, and fog slowly dissipates, effectively clearing frost and condensation. However, in heavy rain, the effect may be diminished and less noticeable. Precautions for using the heated rearview mirror function: The heated rearview mirror works by incorporating electric heating wires, which consume a significant amount of power. Ensure the vehicle is running when using this function to avoid draining the car battery, which could prevent the car from starting. 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 dissipating fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting to blow warm air for defogging.
