Does the Levin have a heated rearview mirror function?
1 Answers
The Levin is equipped with a heated rearview mirror function. The switch for the Levin's heated rearview mirror is located in the air conditioning area below the center console screen. The switch is an icon marked with wavy lines enclosed in a square frame, which also serves as the switch for the rear windshield defroster. The heated rearview mirror is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rain or fog from the mirror, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirror manually, thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the heated rearview mirror function: There are generally two ways to activate the heated rearview mirror 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—press the heating button to activate it. There's no need to manually adjust the angle; the driver's side has an adjustment button. 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 emitted from the left and right rearview mirrors. At the same time, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface become smaller, and fog gradually dissipates, thus heating the mirror and removing frost. If the rain is particularly heavy, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the heated rearview mirror function: The principle of the heated rearview mirror involves adding electric heating wires to the mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of electricity. When using the heated rearview mirror function, ensure the car is in an ignited state. Avoid activating the function when the car is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which could leave insufficient power to start the car. Other methods for defogging the rearview mirror include: Opening windows for air circulation: Crack open the side windows slightly to allow air exchange 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.
