The rearview mirror heating switch button is located at the lower left corner of the steering wheel. Press it once to activate the function. The working principle of rearview mirror heating involves installing an electric heating element (heating film) inside the mirror lenses on both sides. During rainy or snowy weather, when the driver activates the rearview mirror heating function, the heating element rapidly warms up to a set temperature within minutes, effectively removing fog and frost. Rearview mirror heating function: In addition to heating elements, some vehicles feature knob-type switches for rearview mirror heating. On the driver's side door, there is a knob at the front left with several symbols: L, 0, R, and a heating symbol. The heating symbol, which resembles a square frame with three upward-curving arrows, serves as the rearview mirror heating switch. Turning the knob to this symbol activates the heating function. The icon for button-type rearview mirror heating switches should be distinguished from the front windshield defogging button. A symbol with three upward-curving arrows inside a fan shape represents the front windshield defrosting button, while a similar symbol inside a square frame indicates the rearview mirror heating button. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: After activating the rearview mirror heating function, the fog or frost does not disappear immediately but gradually clears after preheating. Excessive use of this function, especially for durations exceeding 30 minutes each time, can affect the lifespan, clarity, and brightness of the rearview mirrors. The rearview mirror heating function typically activates only when the external temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius. At higher temperatures, the mirrors will not heat up even if the switch is turned on. This function is designed to remove fog droplets and frost from the mirror surface but cannot eliminate raindrops during heavy rain. In such conditions, the heat generated by the heating element is insufficient to evaporate continuous raindrops, leading to blurred vision and impaired driving visibility. Vehicles equipped with rearview mirror heating feature specialized mirror lenses with heating function ports, differing from standard lenses. Therefore, it is crucial to consider this when replacing rearview mirror lenses.

What is the difference between the Eco mode and Normal mode in the Tayron?

The difference between the Eco mode and Normal mode in the Tayron lies in the power output: In Eco mode, the engine operates at lower RPMs, and the transmission shifts up more aggressively to reduce engine speed and improve fuel efficiency. The throttle response is also more subdued in Eco mode. In Normal mode, the engine delivers stronger power compared to Eco mode, and the throttle response is more sensitive. In terms of exterior design, the vehicle features a robust and bold overall styling. The large front grille adopts a predominantly horizontal line design, connecting with the headlight clusters on both sides to highlight a sense of design. The chrome accents on the lower front air intake add a touch of sophistication to the imposing front fascia.
