Where is the rearview mirror heating button on the Baojun RC6?

The rearview mirror heating switch of the Baojun RC6 is located on the center console and is shared with the rear windshield heating. The icon is a rectangle with three upward wavy lines inside. The rearview mirror heating function is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirrors manually and thus 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—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 an adjustment button. 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 within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat is then distributed across the left and right rearview mirrors. As the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually shrink, and fog slowly dissipates, thereby clearing the mirror of frost and condensation. However, if the rain is particularly heavy, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves the addition of electric heating wires to the mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of power. Therefore, when using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in an ignited state. Avoid activating the function 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 slightly: Crack open the side windows to allow air convection between the inside and outside of the car. This reduces the temperature difference, causing the fog to gradually disappear. Adjusting the car’s air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also help, as blowing hot air from the AC can effectively remove fog.
I've been driving the Baojun RC6 for almost two years now, and the rearview mirror heating button is indeed a very practical design. It's located in the air conditioning control area on the center console - that button marked with a rectangle containing three upward wavy lines, which is the same button for rear windshield heating. It works particularly well on rainy days; once pressed, the water droplets on the mirrors disappear quickly. However, note that it only works after the engine is started - pressing it otherwise won't have any effect. Once during heavy rain, I forgot to turn it on before getting on the highway and almost couldn't see the adjacent lane when changing lanes. Now I've developed the habit of checking it before setting off. About ten minutes of use each time works perfectly - keeping it on too long just drains the battery. If the button light doesn't come on when pressed, it's most likely a blown fuse, which can be fixed by replacing it with a new one costing just over ten yuan.
