The rearview mirror heating button on the Lynk & Co 03 is located below the vehicle's central control screen, within the air conditioning control area. It is the last button among the four buttons in the air conditioning control panel, featuring a rectangle icon with three curved lines and arrows extending from the bottom to the top. The function can be used when the vehicle is powered on, and activating it simultaneously turns on the rear windshield heating. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for frequent manual wiping by the driver and thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: There are generally two ways to activate the rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment button, where rotating the knob activates the heating. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel, where pressing the heating button turns it on. No manual angle adjustment is needed, as the driver's side has adjustment buttons. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After rotating the knob, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat is then distributed across the left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, due to the rising temperature and evaporation, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually shrink, and fog slowly dissipates, effectively heating the mirror and removing frost. However, in heavy rain, its effectiveness may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves electric heating wires embedded in the mirror, which consume a significant amount of power. When using this function, ensure the vehicle is running. Avoid activating rearview mirror heating while the car is stationary to prevent draining the battery, which could lead to insufficient power for starting the vehicle. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air circulation: Slightly opening both side windows creates airflow between the interior and exterior, reducing the temperature difference and gradually eliminating fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also help, as blowing warm air from the AC aids in defogging.

I recently started driving a Lynk & Co 03, and the rearview mirror heating button is located in the central air conditioning control area. Look for the icon with a square frame and wavy arrows—press it, and when the light turns on, it means the function is activated. This feature is super practical for rainy days when the mirrors are covered with water droplets; just press it and wait three to five minutes for them to dry. However, there are two things to note: first, it’s linked to the rear windshield defroster, so they share the same button; second, try to avoid using it in high summer temperatures, as prolonged heat exposure might damage the mirror coating. It’s most suitable for winter defrosting, and remember that turning on the heater can speed up defogging. The button is a bit far from the driver, so avoid fumbling for it while driving.

Last time I drove the Lynk & Co 03 in a heavy rain, the rearview mirror heating function was a lifesaver. The button is located below the air conditioning panel on the center console, with a rectangular icon featuring three curved arrows. It emits a 'click' feedback when pressed. In real-world testing, activating it during rain clears about 80% of water droplets within 5 minutes, much safer than wiping with a cloth. The system defaults to automatically shutting off after 15 minutes to prevent overheating. A useful tip: don't rush to press it immediately after starting the car in winter; wait until the engine coolant warms up for better effectiveness. A friend's car had this function fail due to aged wiring, so if the button doesn't respond, check for oxidized fuses and wire connectors.

The heated mirror switch of the Lynk & Co 03 is hidden in the air conditioning control area, with an icon resembling a small window with heat waves. During long-distance driving, it was discovered that the heated mirrors consume more electricity than expected when activated in rainy conditions. It is recommended to use this feature in conjunction with the engine start-stop function to balance power consumption. The effect is most noticeable when the temperature is below 15°C, but exceeding 30°C can actually worsen condensation. A mechanic informed me that this feature is connected to the rear window defroster circuit, and modifying the circuit can easily lead to overheating and tripping. When picking up a new car, remember to test the button—I once encountered a situation where the protective film wasn't removed upon delivery, causing poor contact.

What is the Impact of Emotions on Safe Driving?

Here is the impact of driver's emotions on safe driving: Pride and impatience: Complacency is a major enemy of safe driving, as it can easily lead to incorrect operational behaviors during driving, posing a significant threat to the driver's safety. Anger and aggression: When encountering unfavorable situations or actions that go against their will, drivers may become angry, which hinders safe driving. Happiness and depression: Excessive happiness or depression in drivers can severely affect safe driving. When a person is happy, the central nervous system is in an excited state. Excitement and rage: Neither is conducive to safe driving. For example, when ensuring official vehicles for leadership duties fail to arrive on time due to various reasons, it is easy to develop impatience. Drivers may use the vehicle as a means to vent frustration, leading to recklessness and overestimating their abilities. This results in an inability to correctly perceive and judge other vehicles on the road. Drivers should maintain stable emotions, quick reactions, and accurate judgment during driving encounters. However, if criticized by superiors, they may become reckless. It is common to see some vehicles playing strong "disco" rhythm music.

What Type of Engine Oil Should a Turbocharged Car Use?

Fully synthetic engine oil is currently the most suitable oil for turbocharged engines. Here are some maintenance tips for turbocharged engines: 1. Engine oil selection: This is the most important aspect. The grade and viscosity standards of the oil should not be lower than the manufacturer's minimum requirements. Simply put, use the type of oil specified in the maintenance manual. It is recommended to use fully synthetic oil for better protection. 2. Regular oil changes: Delayed oil changes can lead to excessive impurities in the dirty oil, which accelerates wear on the turbocharger. The rotating shaft is not supported by bearings but by a bushing, and the shaft does not directly contact the bushing—instead, it floats on an oil film. If the oil is of poor quality and cannot form a proper oil film, or if the oil film contains impurities, it can cause wear in this area and shorten the turbocharger's lifespan. 3. Timely replacement of the air filter: Compared to regular cars, turbocharged (T) cars have more expensive air filters, indicating higher filtration requirements. A dirty air filter reduces filtration efficiency, potentially damaging the turbocharger. 4. Use the correct gasoline grade: Most turbocharged cars require 95-octane gasoline. Due to the turbocharger's function, more air enters the cylinder, which is already compressed. After further compression by the piston, the pressure and temperature inside the cylinder are higher than in naturally aspirated engines. This makes the gasoline more prone to premature combustion (knocking), where the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires, possibly creating multiple ignition points and leading to engine knock.

What Causes the Cadillac to Shake When Accelerating?

There are several possible reasons why a Cadillac shakes when accelerating: 1. Faulty half-shaft: Issues such as bending, twisting, breaking, or wear and tear on the spline teeth can cause the car to shake rhythmically when accelerating within a certain speed range, with the shaking disappearing or reducing when the accelerator is released. 2. Engine operation problems: The engine requires sufficient air, adequate fuel, and a well-functioning ignition system to operate smoothly. Any issues in these areas can lead to engine shaking. 3. Air intake system leaks or blockages: When accelerating, the car may experience shaking due to poor acceleration performance.
