What could be the reason for the non-functioning rearview mirror heating in the Magotan?

It may be due to incorrect operation. The button is located at the bottom left of the central control screen. As long as the engine is running, pressing this button will gradually heat the rearview mirror. Below is some related information about rearview mirror heating: 1. Rearview Mirror Heating Function: The rearview mirror heating function refers to the ability of the exterior rearview mirrors to be heated via electric heating wires embedded behind the mirror surface when driving in rainy, snowy, or foggy weather, ensuring a clear mirror surface. 2. How Rearview Mirror Heating Works: The working principle of electric rearview mirror heating involves installing an electric heating element (heating film) inside the mirror lenses of both rearview mirrors. In rainy or snowy weather, when the driver activates the rearview mirror heating function, the heating element rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature, usually between 35-60 degrees Celsius, within a few minutes, thereby heating the mirror surface to remove fog and frost.

I am a person with over a decade of car repair experience. If the rearview mirror heating on a Magotan isn't working, the most common issue is a blown fuse, which happens most frequently during light rain when moisture causes unstable current and blows the fuse. I recommend first opening the fuse box to locate the corresponding marked position, usually near the driver's seat, and pulling it out to check if it's blackened or blown. If the fuse is fine, the heating element might be faulty, such as aged or broken heating wires or rusted connectors causing poor contact, requiring the mirror to be disassembled for inspection or resistance measurement. Alternatively, the switch button might be malfunctioning—try pressing it a few times to test the response. Circuit relay failures are also quite common; the relay is in the engine compartment fuse box, and stuck contacts can prevent power flow. I've also seen cases where the door wiring harness was worn out from repeated opening and closing. In any case, don't ignore this issue—driving in the rain with poor visibility significantly increases danger. It's best to have it checked at a professional shop as soon as possible, as DIY attempts can easily damage other components.

How to Check the Rearview Mirror When Changing Lanes to the Right?

When you see a car approaching from behind in the right lane through the rearview mirror, you should observe the position of the following car in the right rearview mirror while assessing its speed. If only a part of the following car's front is visible in the rearview mirror, it indicates that your car is very close to the following car. In this case, you should delay changing lanes to avoid a rear-end collision. If the entire front of the following car is visible in the rearview mirror, it means your car is at least five to six meters away from the following car. At this point, you can increase your speed and change lanes to the right.

Most vehicles come with a spare key. If you have a spare key, you can use it to unlock the car door. Alternatively, you can call 114 to get the contact information of a locksmith company (114 provides locksmith companies registered with the public security department). Here are some relevant tips: 1. Most modern cars have a passage between the trunk and the front seats. You can open the car door, enter the back seat, fold down the rear seat, and then retrieve the car key to solve the problem. 2. If the rear seat cannot be folded down and you cannot enter the trunk, there is usually a gap between the rear seat and the trunk. You can use a long, slender object to fish out the key through this gap.

When learning manual transmission hill start techniques, trainees should first engage the handbrake, press the accelerator to reach at least 2000 RPM, then gradually release the clutch until the RPM drops to around 1000. Different tasks in Subject 2 have different deduction criteria. Details are as follows: 1. General deductions: Not wearing a seatbelt, not closing the door properly, or failing to put the gear in neutral when starting the engine will result in a 100-point deduction. Not using turn signals, using them for less than 3 seconds, forgetting to turn them off, or incorrect usage, as well as stalling the engine, will each deduct 10 points. 2. Parallel parking: If the vehicle crosses the line after stopping in the parking space or exceeds the 90-second time limit, 100 points will be deducted. Failing to use or incorrectly using turn signals when exiting the parking space will also deduct 100 points. Touching the parking space lines with the body or the lane edges with the wheels during movement will deduct 10 points each time, and stopping for more than 2 seconds will deduct 5 points each time. 3.
