The Baojun 730 is equipped with a rearview mirror heating function. The switch for the rearview mirror heating function in the Baojun 730 is integrated with the rear window heating button, located on the right side of the air conditioning screen. 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 rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirror manually, thereby 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—pressing the heating button will activate it. There is no need to manually adjust the angle, as there is an adjustment button on the driver's side. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass will rapidly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat will dissipate from the left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface will gradually shrink, and fog will slowly disappear, thereby heating the mirror and removing frost. 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 electricity. When using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in an ignited state. Avoid activating the function while the car is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which could leave insufficient power to start the vehicle. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for airflow: Crack open the side windows slightly to allow air to flow between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and causing the fog to gradually disappear. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also help defog the mirrors by blowing warm air.

I previously studied the configuration sheet of the Baojun 730. The rearview mirror heating function depends on the specific year and model. For example, the Luxury and Flagship models after the 2016 version are equipped with it. The button is located in the air control area, marked with a square and wavy line icon. It's particularly useful on rainy days—after turning it on, the water droplets on the mirror surface evaporate in about five minutes. However, the lower-end Comfort model might not have this feature. I recommend checking your car's manual or directly looking for very fine heating wire patterns around the edges of the rearview mirror. If you're still unsure, the safest way is to have a mechanic test it during your next maintenance service. After all, this feature can significantly improve driving safety during the rainy season in southern regions.

I drive a 2019 Baojun 730 manual transmission, and personally tested the heated mirrors. Remember last winter morning when there was frost, pressing the button with the heat symbol on the right side of the AC panel melted the frost in about ten minutes. This feature is usually linked with the rear windshield defroster, so be careful not to accidentally press the AC button when turning it on. Early models might only have this feature in higher trims, so I suggest you first check if there's a rectangular button with wavy lines in the AC control area. If you find it doesn't have this function, don't worry. You can buy a pair of heated mirror lenses online for around a hundred bucks and have an auto repair shop modify the wiring in half an hour—much more cost-effective than the factory option.

How to turn off the ECO mode on the dashboard?

Switch the square button below the dashboard brightness adjustment on the left side of the dashboard to the ECO-ON interface, then press and hold to turn off the ECO mode. More detailed information is as follows: 1. The ECO mode of a car: Generally, the ECO mode of a car is divided into active ECO driving mode and passive ECO driving mode. The main difference lies in the intelligent control of resource allocation (including fuel, electricity, etc.) and reminder guidance. 2. Passive ECO does not have a dedicated button: Passive ECO does not have a dedicated button; it is merely a reminder function. When driving, there will be a green ECO reminder symbol on the dashboard. When the speed exceeds 20 km/h, the ECO mode will intelligently evaluate the current fuel consumption. When the optimal fuel supply is achieved, the dashboard will simultaneously display the green ECO symbol. If the driver presses the accelerator pedal hard to accelerate or encounters an uphill section, the ECO symbol will disappear. The specific experience is that without the ECO mode, the car will surge forward when the accelerator is pressed hard. When the ECO mode is enabled, the car feels sluggish, commonly referred to as "weak." Therefore, in simple terms, the ECO mode has the function of preventing hard acceleration.

Can a Car Start After Being Submerged in Water and the Water Recedes?

After a car has been submerged in water and the water recedes, it should not be started. Attempting to start a submerged car can cause severe damage to the engine, potentially leading to complete engine failure. In such cases, it is necessary to call a tow truck to transport the vehicle to a repair shop for a thorough inspection of the damage. Below are the steps to handle a water-damaged car: 1. For cars covered by comprehensive insurance: Report the incident to the insurance company. An insurance adjuster will arrive to assess the damage and determine whether the car should be repaired or compensated. The vehicle should be towed out of the water as soon as possible. Note: Do not attempt to power on or start the car before the insurance adjuster arrives. 2. For cars without comprehensive insurance: (1) If the water level did not exceed the top of the tires: If most of the car was submerged only up to the bumper, the majority of the electrical circuits are likely unaffected. In this case, inspect and repair the circuits at the bottom of the vehicle. (2) If the water level exceeded the top of the tires: The electrical circuits, engine, and other components are likely submerged. Necessary actions include replacing the engine oil, oil filter, transmission fluid, and airbag control module; draining water from the intake manifold; cleaning the engine surface, fuel injectors, and throttle body; removing and drying all seats and carpets; and inspecting and repairing engine wiring and performing engine computer diagnostics.

What does it mean when the ABS warning light is on in a large vehicle?

When the ABS light is displayed in a vehicle, it indicates a malfunction in the anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may lose control and skid, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, which poses a significant safety hazard. There are several states in which the ABS light may illuminate, each with different causes and solutions, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light stays on continuously (most common). Cause 1: The sensing part of the ABS speed sensor is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle's speed and the wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal due to loose connections between system wires or poor contact in the ABS relay, leading to system failure. Solution: Check the wire connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off when accelerating. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage may drop below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases, the voltage rises, and the ABS light turns off. This can also occur if the ABS system's power supply voltage is too low, such as due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity, inspect the charging system, and examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body wiring connector; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, then retighten it, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the sticker near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: Start the engine, press the brake pedal, and use a finger to push the brake switch linkage down fully, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position; replace the brake light switch if necessary.

What is the difference between a notification slip and a fine slip?

The differences between a notification slip and a fine slip are as follows: 1. The names of the slips are different: The full name of the notification slip is 'Irregular Parking Reminder Slip for Motor Vehicles'; the full name of the fine slip is 'Illegal Parking Notification Slip'. 2. The contents are different: The notification slip may not necessarily result in a penalty, as the traffic violation record will be further reviewed by traffic police, and penalties will be imposed if the violation is serious; the fine slip will include the license plate number, vehicle color, type, violation time, location, as well as the name or badge number of the issuing officer and the stamp of their unit. 3. The issuing personnel are different: The notification slip is usually issued by auxiliary police; the fine slip is typically issued by traffic police. 4. The legal effects are different: For the notification slip, if the violation is not too severe, it generally will not be entered into the system, and no action is required if no violation information can be found; the fine slip must be dealt with promptly, as exceeding the 15-day deadline will result in late fees, and failure to address it will prevent the vehicle from passing the annual inspection.
