Where is the rearview mirror heating switch for the 3rd generation Haval H6?
2 Answers
The rearview mirror heating switch for the Haval H6 is located among a row of buttons below the central control screen, featuring an icon of a small square with three arrows. Press the button until the light turns on to activate it. 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 rain or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to manually wipe the mirrors frequently, 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. There's 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 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 shrink, and fog gradually disappears, effectively defogging and deicing the mirror. 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 electric heating wires embedded in the mirror, which consume a significant amount of power. When using this function, ensure the car is running. Avoid activating the rearview mirror heating while the car is stationary to prevent draining the battery, which could leave insufficient power to start the car. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for airflow: Crack open both side windows slightly 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 by blowing warm air to defog the mirrors.
The heating switch for the rearview mirrors on the 3rd-gen Haval H6 is quite easy to find—it's located on the air conditioning control panel of the center console. It's usually a small rectangular icon with wavy lines, resembling the rear window defogger button. I've driven this car on mountain roads, and this feature proves incredibly useful in rainy weather. With just a press of the switch, the mirrors quickly heat up to remove condensation, preventing blurred vision and potential accidents. Design-wise, it shares the same switch as the rear window defogger, making operation straightforward—simply press it after starting the vehicle, and it typically turns off automatically after a few minutes. Safety-wise, especially on highways or in cold, damp conditions, it helps minimize blind-spot risks. Remember to check if the button functions properly before starting the car in winter. If the light doesn't come on, it might indicate a blown fuse or an inactive system, so a quick check at the 4S store is recommended for peace of mind. Overall, integrating this feature into the climate control area adds convenience to daily driving.
