Where is the heated mirror switch for the Eado?

The Eado does not have a dedicated button for heated mirrors. This feature is integrated with the rear window defogger function. When you press the rear window defogger button, the mirrors will also heat up. Here is some relevant information about heated mirrors: 1. Principle and Function: The working principle of heated mirrors is actually very simple and not very costly. It involves installing a heating element (heating film) inside the mirror lenses on both sides. During rainy or snowy weather, when the driver activates the heated mirror function, the heating element will quickly warm up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, usually between 35-60 degrees Celsius, thereby heating the mirror surface to remove fog and frost. 2. Precautions: In some vehicles, the heated mirror function only operates when the ambient temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius. Therefore, if the heated mirrors are not working, the first thing to consider is whether the outside temperature is too high. If temperature is not the issue and the heated mirrors still do not work, it is advisable to seek timely inspection and repair.
When driving my Eado, finding the rearview mirror heating switch is actually quite intuitive. It's usually located on the center console near the air conditioning controls; the button features a wavy line or small mirror icon and is typically positioned next to the defogger button—just press it to activate the heating function. This feature is particularly useful in rainy or foggy weather, quickly evaporating moisture from the mirror surface to prevent blurred vision. Remember to turn it on after starting the engine for better effectiveness; but avoid leaving it on continuously as it may slightly increase power consumption. I've noticed that in some model years, this function might be integrated into the vehicle's touchscreen—just tap 'Vehicle Settings' to access it. Overall, the switch is designed to be user-friendly, saving you time from fumbling around and adding an extra layer of safety to your drive.
The button for the rearview mirror heating in the Yidong is quite easy to find—I've checked multiple times: it's embedded in the center console, right next to the defogging button. Press it, and the heating system kicks in, warming up the mirror within seconds to clear rain or frost. This is crucial for driving, especially at night in the rain—clean mirrors make reversing and lane changes much safer. A quick tip: sometimes it’s linked to the rear window defogger—one button activates both. If the button doesn’t respond, I’d suggest checking the manual or visiting a 4S shop to inspect the wiring. Don’t underestimate this feature—small details prevent big risks.
As a frequent driver of the Changan Eado, I was initially confused about the location of the heating switch. Later, I discovered it's located below the right side of the steering wheel, in the central control panel area, with a button featuring a wavy symbol. A single press activates it, proving highly useful on rainy or cold days—the mirrors quickly clear up, eliminating blind spot risks. Operation is straightforward: just press it after starting the car. Remember to turn it off promptly to save power, or occasionally test to ensure the function works properly.
