How to turn on the rearview mirror heating for the third-generation H6?
2 Answers
Before using the rearview mirror heating, ensure the vehicle is in the started state, or turn the key to the ON position to power on the system. Do not use this function when the vehicle battery is low on charge or experiencing faults. After pressing the rearview mirror heating switch, the indicator light on the button will illuminate, and the heating element will rapidly warm up to a set temperature within minutes. Water droplets on the mirror surface will gradually evaporate as the temperature rises, and fog will slowly dissipate, achieving the effects of defogging and defrosting the mirror.
I've been driving the third-generation Haval H6 for several years. The rearview mirror heating button is hidden on the air conditioning control panel, with an icon resembling a small rearview mirror with wavy lines. Just press it to activate. It's particularly useful in winter or rainy weather when the mirrors tend to fog up or ice over – without heating, it's impossible to see the lanes behind clearly, which could lead to a rear-end collision. Last time I was on a self-drive trip in the mountains, the fog was so thick that pressing the button cleared the fog within minutes, saving me from having to wipe them manually and getting my hands dirty. This feature usually operates automatically for about 10 minutes before shutting off to prevent overheating and battery drain. When parking, remember to check the button's status to avoid accidental activation, which would waste battery power unnecessarily. If you can't find the button, refer to the manual or ask the 4S store staff – never attempt to dismantle the panel randomly. Overall, this small feature is incredibly useful, making daily driving safer, especially on slippery roads.
