The rearview mirror heating button of the second-generation Haval H6 is located at the lower left of the central control navigation screen. The rearview mirror heating function refers to the ability of the outer rearview mirror to be heated by electric heating wires embedded behind the mirror when the car is driving in rainy, snowy, or foggy weather, ensuring a clear surface of the mirror. There are two types of rearview mirror heating switches: One is the rotary switch. On the driver's side door, there is a rotary knob at the front left with several symbols: L, 0, R, and a heating symbol. The heating symbol is the rearview mirror heating switch, which is shaped like a square frame with three upward-curving arrows inside. Turning the knob to the heating symbol activates the rearview mirror heating function. The other is the button-type switch. On the control panel, it is shaped like a square frame with three upward-curving arrows inside. Pressing the button activates the rearview mirror heating function. The rearview mirror heating button icon needs to be distinguished from the front windshield defogging button. A fan-shaped symbol with three upward-curving arrows inside is the front windshield defrosting button, while a square frame with three upward-curving arrows inside is the rearview mirror heating button.
Having driven for so many years, I'm quite familiar with the second-generation Haval H6. The rearview mirror heating switch is located in the air conditioning control area of the center console, sharing a button with the window defogging function. The button icon features a square frame with a few curved lines inside, situated right next to the air conditioning knob. On rainy days, just press it after starting the car, and the water droplets on the mirrors will evaporate in a few minutes, though it automatically stops after 20 minutes of continuous operation. Once during a heavy downpour, it kept my mirrors clear, but the effect isn't as noticeable in the peak of summer—it works best in winter. I recommend activating the function in advance to avoid fumbling for the button while driving.
From a technical perspective, the H6's rearview mirror heating function is integrated with the rear window defroster button on the climate control panel. The square icon with three wavy arrows is located on the center console to the right of the driver's seat, featuring anti-slip texture on the button surface. It requires ignition power to activate by pressing, which illuminates an indicator light on the instrument cluster. Heating wires embedded behind the mirror lens generate heat through electrical resistance to clear fog, consuming approximately 200 watts. In rainy conditions at 18°C outdoors, it takes about 5 minutes to take effect, while sub-zero temperatures require around 12 minutes. My routine is to press the heating button during cold starts, so it's ready to use by the time the engine warms up - far more convenient and safer than wiping with a cloth.
