Does the Roewe i5 have a heated rearview mirror function?
1 Answers
The Roewe i5 is equipped with a heated rearview mirror function. The switch for the heated rearview mirror is located on the center console, next to the front windshield defogger switch, and is marked with an icon featuring three curved upward arrows alongside a rectangle. 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, eliminating the need for the driver to manually wipe the mirror frequently, 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. No manual angle adjustment is needed, as there is an adjustment button on the driver's side. 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 minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. Heat is then emitted from both left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface become smaller, and fog gradually dissipates, effectively heating the mirror and removing frost. However, 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, which consume a significant amount of power. When using this function, ensure the car is in an active state (engine running). Avoid activating the heated rearview mirror when the car is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which could then fail to provide sufficient power for starting the vehicle. Other methods for defogging the rearview mirror include: Opening windows for air circulation: Crack open the side windows slightly to create airflow between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and allowing the fog to dissipate gradually. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also help defog the mirror by blowing warm air.
