Does the Lynk & Co 06 have heated mirrors?
2 Answers
The heated mirrors of the Lynk & Co 06 share the same button with the rear windshield defroster. It is the second button located to the front left of the gear lever. Simply press this button to activate the heated mirror function. Precautions for using heated mirrors: In cases of particularly heavy rain, the effectiveness of the heated mirrors may decrease and may not be very noticeable. Additionally, this function consumes a significant amount of power, so ensure the vehicle is running when using the heated mirrors. Avoid using this function when the engine is cold. If the battery is low on charge or malfunctioning, the heated mirrors may not activate. While heated mirrors are practical, they should not be used excessively. Each use should not exceed 30 minutes, as prolonged use can affect the mirror's lifespan and clarity. If convenient, drivers can opt to wipe the mirrors with a dry cloth instead of using the heating function. How heated mirrors work: The principle behind heated mirrors is quite simple and not very costly. It involves installing an electric heating element (heating film) inside the mirror lenses on both sides. When the driver activates the heated mirror function during rain or snow, the heating element quickly warms up to a fixed temperature, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, within a few minutes. This helps to defog and defrost the mirrors.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 06 for almost two years now, and it comes with a rearview mirror heating function, which has been particularly useful in my daily driving, especially during rainy or snowy days when I don't have to wipe the mirrors manually—it's both safe and convenient. The operation is straightforward: just find the heating button on the center console or door, press it, and it starts working. The temperature rises quickly, effectively melting away the fog. As a compact SUV, the higher-end versions of the Lynk & Co 06 generally come standard with this feature, but I'd recommend checking the vehicle manual or asking the salesperson during a test drive about the specific configurations to avoid any surprises with lower trims possibly lacking it. I once encountered a situation where the mirror was fogged up, and turning on the heating cleared my view instantly. During regular maintenance, I also remind the technician to check the heating wires to prevent aging from affecting performance. Overall, this feature enhances driving safety and is definitely worth trusting.
