Where is the rearview mirror heating switch for the Changan CS75?

[JayceRose]

The rearview mirror heating switch for the Changan CS75 is located at the bottom right corner of the central control air conditioning 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. The 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 a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat is then distributed to both left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, as the temperature rises and evaporates, water droplets on the mirror surface become smaller, and fog gradually disappears, effectively clearing the mirror of frost and fog. 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 adding electric heating wires to the mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of power. Therefore, when using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in an ignited state. Avoid activating the function while the car is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which could lead to insufficient power for starting the vehicle. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for airflow: Crack open both side windows slightly to allow air circulation between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and gradually eliminating fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also help by blowing hot air to remove fog.

I found that the rearview mirror heating switch of the CS75 is located on the air conditioning control panel, right next to the hazard light button. The button with a small square and three upward arrows is the one, and the icon looks like steam rising from a windshield. When I got the new car, I specifically tested it on a rainy day, and the mirror surface became dry in about ten minutes after turning it on. Just a reminder, this function works best when the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, and it might not be very effective during summer rains. Also, it automatically shuts off after 15 minutes of operation to prevent overheating and damaging the wiring. If you find the switch malfunctioning, remember to check the F22 fuse in the fuse box. If you usually park outdoors, it's best to cover the car with a car cover to prevent dew and reduce the number of times the heater needs to be activated.

Last week, I drove my brother's Changan CS75 back to my hometown, and the heavy mountain fog left the rearview mirrors covered in water droplets. After fumbling around for a while, I finally found the heating button in the center console area to the left of the gear shift—it's the one with a wavy arrow symbol among the row of buttons below the air conditioning knob. Pressing it with my finger lit up a yellow light, and within two minutes, the mirror surface was clear. However, be aware that activating it also heats the rear windshield, so don’t be startled by the sudden temperature rise at the back window. Last time, the car wash guy reminded me not to overuse this feature, as the heating wires can age and turn white prematurely. Now, I always wait about ten minutes after starting the car before turning on the heating to reduce the strain on the battery.

After commuting with the CS75 for three months, I've mastered the rearview mirror heating button. It's located on the center console panel to the right of the driver's seat, next to the rear window defogger button with the electric heating wire icon. On rainy or snowy workdays, pressing it clears the mirror by the third traffic light. Remember, it only works with the engine running—the light won't even turn on if the engine is off. During a service visit to the 4S shop, the technician mentioned this switch is connected to the F-zone fuse and requires a 10A replacement if blown. In summer downpours, it's better to skip this button—the car's dehumidification mode defogs faster.

I remember when I first got the CS75, the salesperson specifically taught me that the heating switch is on the central console in the cockpit. Look for the small square button with three wavy lines, usually located right above the rearview mirror adjustment button. In practice, it takes about five minutes to melt thin frost, but the effectiveness drops below minus ten degrees Celsius. A little tip: when activated, the vehicle's side sensors automatically engage, so avoid setting the wipers to automatic mode to prevent frequent activation. Last time, Uncle Zhang in our neighborhood had a stuck button—I showed him how to gently wiggle the button left and right to free it, as plastic components can jam with prolonged use.

Having studied the heating system of the CS75, the switch is located in the air conditioning area slightly to the left of the dashboard, marked by a square icon with a thermal radiation symbol. Pressing it provides vibration feedback to confirm activation, and the mirror surface begins to warm up for defogging. Found a practical tip: wiping the mirror clean before turning on the heating during long-distance self-driving trips makes it work faster than direct heating. Be cautious as the wiring inside the door panel is prone to being cut during break-ins, so try not to park near greenery. Sister Wang from the car owners' group shared that applying film to the rearview mirror affects heating efficiency—she experienced twice as fast heating after removing a cheap film.
