Where is the rearview mirror heating button on the Baojun 510?
1 Answers
The Baojun 510's rearview mirror heating and rear defogger share the same switch, located in the central air conditioning control panel. Activating the rear defogger will also turn on the heating function. The button is marked with a rectangle and three wavy lines. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rain or fog without the need for manual wiping, 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 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; the driver's side has a dedicated adjustment button. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After rotating the button, the electric heater behind the mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature (usually between 35-60°C) within minutes, distributing heat to both left and right mirrors. As the temperature rises, water droplets on the mirror surface shrink due to evaporation, and fog gradually dissipates, effectively clearing frost and condensation. However, its effectiveness diminishes during heavy rainfall. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The heating mechanism involves electrical heating wires embedded in the mirrors, which consume significant power. Always ensure the vehicle is running when using this feature to avoid draining the battery, which could prevent engine startup. Alternative defogging methods include: 1. Window ventilation: Slightly opening both side windows creates air convection, equalizing indoor-outdoor temperature differences to naturally dissipate fog. 2. Climate control: Adjusting the car's air conditioning to blow warm air effectively removes condensation from mirrors.
