Where is the rearview mirror heating button on the Hongqi H5?
1 Answers
The rearview mirror heating button on the Hongqi H5 is located on the driver's side door panel, in the middle of the mirror adjustment buttons near the door handle. The driver's door panel of the Hongqi H5 integrates various mirror adjustment functions, including left/right adjustment, heating, and folding. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful in rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror 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 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 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. Heat is then distributed across the left and right mirrors. As the temperature rises, water droplets on the mirror surface evaporate, and fog gradually disappears, effectively defrosting and demisting the mirror. However, in heavy rain, the effect may be less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The heating function works via electric heating wires embedded in the mirror, which consume significant power. Ensure the car is running when using this feature to avoid draining the battery, which could prevent the car from starting. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly to create airflow, reducing the temperature difference between inside and outside, which helps dissipate fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to blow warm air onto the mirrors for defogging.
