Buick Envision's exterior mirror heating refers to the reflective mirrors on both sides of the windows. Below are some details about the heated mirrors: 1. This function eliminates the need for manual angle adjustment, as there is usually a control button near the driver's seat to adjust the mirror's angle. 2. During rain or snow, it can dry the water droplets or snow on the mirror surface, ensuring clear visibility. Additional information: 1. Principle of the mirror heating function: An electric heating element is installed inside the mirror lenses on both sides, which heats the mirrors to evaporate moisture on the surface. 2. In rainy or snowy weather, when the driver activates the mirror heating function, the heating element quickly warms up to a fixed temperature within minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, thereby heating the mirror surface to remove fog and frost.

That Buick Envision's exterior rearview mirror heating function, I use it quite often when driving this car, especially on humid winter days when the mirrors are icy or fogged up. Just press the button in the air conditioning control area to activate the heating, and it quickly melts the frost layer to clear the mirrors. This feature is designed to be simple and efficient, requiring no complicated operations, usually taking effect within minutes, effectively improving driving visibility. Compared to regular cleaning, it saves time and effort, but be careful not to switch it on and off too frequently to prolong its lifespan. If the effectiveness diminishes, check common issues like fuses or aging wiring—most repair shops can handle these minor maintenance details.

Can Vehicles Undergo Annual Inspection in Another Location?

Large passenger buses and school buses cannot be inspected in another location. Currently, cross-province annual inspections for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses have been fully implemented. This means applicants can directly undergo the inspection in a city other than where the vehicle is registered and apply for the inspection compliance mark. Documents required for annual inspection: Original ID card or the original ID card of the agent; original vehicle registration certificate; copy of compulsory traffic insurance; proof of vehicle and vessel tax. Annual inspection content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and ancillary equipment are clean, complete, and functional, whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; Test whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles"; Check whether the vehicle has been modified, altered, or transformed, whether the registration details on the vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and vehicle records match the actual condition, and whether any changes have been approved and documented; Check whether the license plate, registration certificate, and enlarged license plate markings on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need replacement; For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or town where the vehicle is located and the seating capacity of the driver's compartment are printed in imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required; For trucks, check whether the rear tailgate (including the trailer's rear tailgate) exterior displays the vehicle number enlarged 2-3 times as required, and whether the sides of the door display the word "individual" for privately owned or jointly operated vehicles. The text must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).

How to solve the abnormal noise of Roewe RX5 sunroof on bumpy roads?

To address the abnormal noise from the Roewe RX5 sunroof on bumpy roads, first identify the cause of the noise. If the sealing ring is aged, it needs to be replaced with a new one. If the screws are loose, tightening them can resolve the issue. Here are the specific methods: 1. Turn on the vehicle's ignition, press the sunroof switch button, and ensure the interior and exterior are quiet. Observe the sunroof's movement path to check for obvious up-and-down fluctuations. If present, it indicates component aging, and the parts must be replaced. 2. Loose screws can cause roof and sunroof noises and even pose a risk of the sunroof falling off. The solution is simple: locate the sunroof screws and tighten them. 3. Due to prolonged use, debris particles may accumulate on the sliding tracks. When the sunroof moves along these tracks, it can rub against the debris, causing abnormal noise. Therefore, it is essential to keep the tracks clean. Apply lubricant to both sides of the sunroof tracks, paying extra attention to areas where noise was previously detected, as these spots experience the most friction.

How to Set Cruise Control in a Vehicle?

After the system is activated and the vehicle reaches the desired speed, press button B (SET) to maintain the vehicle at that speed continuously. Once the cruising speed is set, you can still accelerate using the throttle pedal as usual. When the throttle pedal is released, the system will restore the vehicle speed to the set cruising speed. Here is some related information about cruise control: The cruise control system reads the pulse signal from the speed sensor and compares it with the set speed, then issues commands to the servo mechanism to adjust the throttle opening, either increasing or decreasing it, to keep the vehicle at the set speed.

What to Do When the Smart Key is Not Detected?

There are generally four situations when the car cannot detect the smart key: 1. The key's transmitter is damaged. 2. The car's receiver is damaged. 3. The door lock is damaged. 4. The battery in the key is dead. All the above issues can be checked and resolved at a regular repair station. Generally, there are two types of keys with sensing functions: 1. Conventional folding mechanical keys. 2. Hidden mechanical keys. If it is a conventional folding key, you can directly use the mechanical key to open the door when the battery is dead. If it is a hidden type, we need to find the mechanical key. Usually, the spare mechanical key is hidden inside the main key, which is not visible under normal circumstances. When needed, it can be pulled out and used as a conventional mechanical key.

How to Measure the Throttle Position Sensor?

Here are the methods for measuring the throttle position sensor: 1. Unplug the connector from the throttle position sensor and turn on the ignition switch. 2. Measure the voltage between Vcc and the idle contact, as well as between Vcc and the wide-open throttle contact; the readings should be 4.5-5.5V. 3. If the readings do not meet the requirements, check the ECU connection circuit. If the voltage values are correct, inspect the throttle potentiometer resistance. 4. Unplug the throttle potentiometer connector and measure the resistance between Vcc and the idle contact; it should be 1.5-2.6kΩ. 5. Measure the resistance between Vcc and VTH; at idle, it should be 0.75-1.3KΩ.
