2 Answers
The rearview mirror heating switch for the Changan CS75 is located at the bottom right corner of the central air conditioning control panel. It is the button for both the rearview mirror and rear windshield heating, marked with a rectangle icon featuring three arrows. Pressing it to light up activates the function. 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, eliminating the need for frequent manual wiping by the driver 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 there is an adjustment button on the driver's side. 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 minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat is then distributed across the left and right rearview mirrors. Meanwhile, as the temperature rises and evaporates, water droplets on the mirror surface become smaller, and fog gradually disappears, effectively heating the mirror and removing frost. However, if the rain is particularly heavy, its effectiveness may diminish, becoming less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves adding electric heating wires to the mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of power. When using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in an ignited state. Avoid activating it while the car is stationary to prevent draining the battery, which could leave insufficient power for starting the car. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air circulation: Crack open the side windows slightly to allow air exchange 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 by blowing warm air to remove fog.
Having driven the Changan CS75 for several years, I can tell you that the rearview mirror heating button is usually located on the air conditioning control panel on the center console. It has an icon resembling a mirror being heated. I often use it during rainy days or in winter—just press it, and within minutes, the fog or frost on the mirror melts away, instantly clearing your view. This is crucial for safe driving, as it prevents accidents caused by poor visibility of vehicles behind you. For best results, I recommend turning it on after the engine starts—it works much better. Avoid keeping it on for too long to save power and protect the components. The button is conveniently placed within easy reach. If you're unsure what the icon looks like, you can refer to the owner's manual for diagrams or check the button layout in the air conditioning area of your car. Overall, this feature significantly enhances convenience in harsh weather conditions. Getting familiar with its location and making it a habit can make your driving experience much safer. New owners might overlook this feature, but mastering it can greatly reduce driving risks. Also, remember to check the button's responsiveness during regular maintenance checks.
