The rearview mirror heating button on the Wuling Xingchen is located on the control panel, within a square border featuring three upward-curving arrows. Press the button to activate the rearview mirror heating function. This feature is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather, as the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rain or fog, eliminating the need for frequent manual wiping and 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 knob—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is needed, as the driver's side has adjustment buttons. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature (usually between 35-60°C) within minutes, distributing heat from both side mirrors. As the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface shrink, and fog gradually dissipates, effectively clearing frost and mist. However, in heavy rain, its effectiveness may diminish. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The heating function relies on electric heating wires embedded in the mirrors, which consume significant power. Ensure the car is running when using this feature to avoid draining the and preventing startup issues. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly to allow air circulation, reducing the temperature difference between inside and outside, which helps clear fog. Adjusting the car’s air conditioning to blow warm air onto the mirrors for defogging.

Last time I drove the Wuling Xingchen on the highway in the rain, the rearview mirrors were completely blurred, so I quickly looked for the heating switch. It's the square button with wavy lines in the middle of the air conditioning control area, with an icon resembling an electric blanket pattern, just two button positions away from the temperature knob. After pressing it, the water droplets on the mirror surface evaporated in about 5 minutes, but the manual states that this function automatically turns off in weather above 35 degrees to prevent overheating. I hardly use it normally, but it's indispensable during the southern rainy season. Remember, it's linked to the rear windshield heating—pressing it once activates both. If you're unsure of its location, crouch down and follow the air conditioning panel to find the button with a rectangle and curve symbol—you can't miss it.

I've been driving the Wuling Xingchen for two years, and the rearview mirror heating button is located on the center console to the right of the steering wheel. Among the row of buttons below the three circular knobs on the air conditioning panel, look for the rectangular icon with three wavy lines—it even has a slightly raised texture. Last time when I accompanied a novice friend for driving practice, I specifically reminded him to turn this on before hitting the road in the rain—it's much safer than wiping with a cloth. This feature is also great for defrosting in winter, but it automatically shuts off after 15 minutes of operation to prevent circuit damage. If you can't find the button, just refer to the diagram on page 87 of the user manual.

The rearview mirror heating switch of the Wuling Xingchen is integrated into the air conditioning control module. The square plastic button in the middle of the center console, marked with a rectangular frame and wavy lines, will light up orange when pressed. It starts slower when the temperature is too low, so it's recommended to turn it on in advance. This function is mainly used for rainy and foggy days, and is automatically disabled on hot days. Ensure the engine is running when operating, otherwise the may drain easily. If you can't find it, refer to the quick manual on the lower right side of the steering wheel.

I often encounter car owners asking about this during repairs. The Wuling Xingchen's mirror heating button is interlocked with the rear button, located as the second button to the left of the air conditioning panel's fan speed knob, marked with a square icon containing jagged lines. Pressing it will simultaneously activate the rear windshield heating. Note that this function consumes significant power, so avoid prolonged use during idle. The heating element is embedded behind the mirror surface, ensuring more even defogging than manual wiping. For rainy conditions, it's advisable to activate it three minutes before driving for quicker mirror surface warming.

Last week, I helped my neighbor debug his Xingchen and specifically researched the rearview mirror heating. The switch is located on the bottom row of the air conditioning control area, marked with a rectangular button featuring a wavy line. When activated, the heating wires inside the mirror generate heat, reaching temperatures around 50°C. However, avoid using it immediately after the car has been exposed to intense summer heat—wait for the interior to cool down first. I noticed the car's thoughtful design: the rearview mirror heating shares a switch with the rear window defogger, eliminating the need to locate two separate buttons. Just keep an eye out for controls with heating icons in the button area during daily use.
