The rearview mirror heating for Emgrand GL is located to the left of the AC button on the air conditioning panel. Rearview Mirror Heating: There are generally two types of control buttons for the car rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment function button, and the other is set on the air conditioning control panel, usually near the rear windshield heating button, or the two functions may be combined into one. Function: In certain special weather conditions, turning on the rearview mirror heating function ensures that the driver can clearly see the rearview mirror, thereby improving driving safety. When the rearview mirror heating button is pressed, both the rearview mirror and the rear window of the vehicle are heated simultaneously to remove rain, frost, and fog.

I've been driving the Emgrand GL for almost two years now, and I remember being puzzled when I first tried to find the rearview mirror heating button. It's located on the center console panel to the right of the steering wheel, in the air conditioning control area—there's a button with a wavy line and a mirror icon. Pressing it activates both the rearview mirror heating and rear window defrosting simultaneously. It's particularly useful on rainy days or when there's frost in winter, quickly melting water droplets. At first, I thought it was a separate button, but after checking the manual, I realized it's combined with the defrost function. When using it, be careful not to keep it on for too long, especially in summer, as it can easily burn out the circuit. If you can't find the icon, the safest method is to start the car and switch to the air conditioning interface to see if the button lights up. The Emgrand GL's design in this aspect is quite user-friendly—the button is positioned slightly high but easy to operate, with a simple design that prevents accidental presses by beginners. It feels like Geely put a lot of thought into this detail.

What Causes No Response When Pressing the Accelerator?

The reasons for no response when pressing the accelerator include ignition system failure, fuel injection system failure, and throttle pedal sensor failure. Below are detailed explanations: Ignition System Failure: Failure of the ignition coil and spark plugs in the ignition system leads to poor ignition performance, making it difficult to achieve noticeable power improvement even when pressing the accelerator. Fuel Injection System Failure: Failure of the high-pressure fuel pump or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors results in poor fuel injection performance, causing no response when pressing the accelerator. Throttle Pedal Sensor Failure: Throttle pedal sensor failure is the most direct cause and requires replacement of a new sensor.

What is the service life of commercial vehicles?

Commercial vehicles have different service life periods depending on the vehicle type. Please see the detailed explanations below: 1. Non-commercial passenger vehicles with 9 seats or less (including sedans and SUVs) have a service life of 15 years: If continued use is required after reaching the scrapping standard, no approval is needed. The service life can be extended after passing inspections, with 2 annual inspections required. After 20 years, 4 annual inspections are required starting from the 21st year. 2. Tourist passenger vehicles and non-commercial passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats have a service life of 10 years: If continued use is required after reaching the scrapping standard, the current procedures must be followed, but the extension cannot exceed 10 years. Tourist passenger vehicles with extended service life require 4 annual inspections, while non-commercial passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats require 2 annual inspections, increasing to 4 annual inspections starting from the 16th year after exceeding 15 years. 3. The service life of commercial buses is adjusted to 10 years: If continued use is required after reaching the scrapping standard, the current procedures must be followed. The extension cannot exceed 4 years, with 4 annual inspections required during the extended period. 4. For the above vehicles during regular inspections: If they fail to meet the national standard "Safety Specifications for Power-driven Vehicles Operating on Roads (GB7258-2004)" in 3 consecutive inspections within one inspection cycle, the license plate and vehicle registration certificate will be revoked, and the vehicle owner will be notified to complete the deregistration process. After reaching the scrapping standard, registration and transfer registration are not allowed. 5. Important note: Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use and non-commercial vehicles converted to commercial use will be scrapped according to the commercial vehicle standard (8 years).

What Causes Water to Drip from the Car Chassis?

The reasons for water dripping from the car chassis are drainage from the air conditioning system and water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car. Here are the detailed explanations: Air Conditioning System Drainage: Air conditioning system drainage occurs because the outside temperature is high in summer while the interior of the car with the air conditioning on is cold, creating a temperature difference that causes water to drip from the chassis. The low-pressure pipes of the car's air conditioning system are not wrapped with thermal insulation foam, making the pipe surfaces prone to condensing moisture from the air. Water droplets also condense and collect at the lowest point of the pipes, dripping down. Muffler and Exhaust Pipe Dripping: Water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car is also a normal phenomenon, commonly seen in winter. This phenomenon indicates that the engine is in good working condition, with the air-fuel mixture burning completely and efficiently.
