The Buick Envision's mirror heating switch shares the same button as the rear window defroster. Press it once to turn the function on or off. When driving in foggy, rainy, or snowy conditions, moisture can obscure the driver's view of the side and rear areas, often requiring the driver to reach out and manually clean the mirror surfaces. This is not only highly inconvenient but also significantly compromises driving safety. Activating the mirror heating function proves extremely beneficial in such situations. The Buick Envision features a new wing-shaped chrome trim that runs through the LED wing-shaped headlights, widening the horizontal visual effect. The dynamic bumper design and three-dimensional silver lower guard create a robust and powerful front fascia. The rear also adopts a three-dimensional wing-shaped design, with chrome trim seamlessly connecting to the taillights, complemented by integrated dual exhaust pipes to enhance the sporty appeal.

I found that the Buick Envision's mirror heating button is usually integrated with the rear window defogger button on the climate control panel—it's the rectangular icon with wavy lines, which you can locate on the center console. Pressing it activates heating for both the side mirrors and rear window, especially useful during rainy or cold weather to enhance visibility and safety. Having driven this car for several years, I recall checking the button's functionality every winter before heading out, as the heated mirrors can get hot to the touch, so avoid direct contact. If the button doesn’t work, it might indicate a blown fuse or wiring issue—try restarting the infotainment system or visit a dealership for an electrical inspection to ensure worry-free driving. Developing a habit of regular maintenance is crucial.

This feature is quite cleverly designed, located on the defog button in the air conditioning area. With a single press, it activates the rearview mirror and rear window heating, making the operation simple. I've studied many cars, and Buick's integrated approach saves space and is highly efficient. In situations with poor visibility while driving, pressing it once automatically works for over ten minutes, with a principle similar to electric heating wire temperature control. Note that it only takes effect after the engine starts, and avoid covering the sensor in daily use to maintain effectiveness. For safety, the heated mirror temperature rises, so avoid touching it with your hands; simply wipe off dirt with a cloth. If it malfunctions, check the manual for backup solutions.

It's located on the rear window defogger button of the air conditioning panel, with an icon showing a rearview mirror and wavy lines. Just press it to activate. I often commute in my Envision, and this feature is a lifesaver during rainy or foggy weather. It improves visibility, reduces risks, and ensures a safer drive. It's straightforward to use, so don't overthink it.

Can I Use 92 Octane Gasoline When the Car Manual Recommends 93 or Above?

93 octane gasoline is equivalent to the current 92 octane gasoline, so using 92 octane is acceptable. The 93 octane rating corresponds to the China IV emission standard, while 92 octane aligns with the newer China V standard. Whether future adjustments will be made to these ratings remains unknown. 92 octane gasoline has an octane rating of 92 and a heptane rating of 8, making it suitable for mid-range vehicles. Here's additional information: Gasoline is a petroleum product. Whether it's 93 octane or 97 octane, both are fundamentally similar hydrocarbons. The difference lies in certain components that affect the knock point. These varying components are fully blended with the base oil, maintaining identical physicochemical properties. When mixed, they still constitute gasoline.

What Causes Vehicle Body Shaking?

Vehicle shaking can occur during startup, idle, and high-speed driving. Shaking during startup is mainly due to insufficient fuel combustion, resulting in inadequate power. Low ignition energy means that during startup, especially when fuel and lubricant temperatures are low, more throttle is needed to meet power demands. Over time, the spark plug gap gradually increases, leading to reduced ignition energy and poor fuel atomization, which causes the vehicle body to shake. Here are additional details: Points to note: Idle shaking should not be ignored either. Causes of idle shaking include severe engine carbon buildup, issues with the ignition system, unstable oil pressure, and aging engine components. If the vehicle shakes at idle, it is recommended that the owner first clean the engine, replace the spark plugs, and check the fuel supply pressure.

How many points are deducted for the vehicle body crossing the line?

How Long After Running a Red Light Will You Receive Notification?

After running a red light, the illegal photo notification SMS is usually received within 3 to 7 days, with the latest being around 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But this notification does not equate to a traffic violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it constitutes a violation takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation SMS immediately. There is a delay, and the duration can vary. This is because after the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then verified by relevant staff. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via SMS. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department where the violation occurred within one month before the annual vehicle inspection to address the issue. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received beyond 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle traffic management violations via the internet or query terminals. Methods include website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, and mobile app queries. Website Query: Search for "vehicle violation query" and input your vehicle information to check. Phone Query: Dial local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be processed at the location where they occurred or where the vehicle is registered. For on-the-spot violations, such as those caught directly by a traffic officer, they must be handled at the violation site. SMS Query: Open your phone's SMS interface, enter "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]," send to 1062650001, and click send. Mobile App Query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "Violation Query," and clear any unresolved violations.
