Where is the Rearview Mirror Heating Function Located on the Equinox LT Cloth?
1 Answers
The Equinox LT Cloth does not have a separate switch for the rearview mirror heating function. To activate the rearview mirror heating, you need to turn on the rear window defroster. The rear window defroster switch button is located at the lower left of the passenger side air conditioning knob. Press this button, and the indicator light on the button will illuminate, indicating that the rear window defroster is activated. At this time, the rearview mirror heating is automatically turned on. The rearview mirror heating function is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirrors manually, 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 rearview mirror adjustment function key—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. There is no need to manually adjust the angle, 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 will rapidly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees. The heat will dissipate from the left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface will become smaller, and fog will gradually disappear, thereby heating the mirror and removing frost. If the rain is particularly heavy, its effectiveness may decrease, and the impact may not be as noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves adding electric heating wires to the rearview mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of electricity. When using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in an ignited state. Avoid activating the rearview mirror heating function when the car is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which may result in insufficient power to start the car. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air circulation: Crack open both side windows slightly to allow air to flow between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and causing the fog to gradually disappear. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also utilize the warm air blown by the air conditioning to defog the mirrors.
