Where is the rearview mirror heating switch for the Trumpchi GS4?
1 Answers
The rearview mirror heating button for the Trumpchi GS4 is located below the hazard light button, marked with three curved upward arrows paired with a rectangular pattern. The rearview mirror heating button is integrated with the rear windshield heating button. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for frequent manual wiping and 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 power-adjustable rearview mirror control knob—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 the driver's side has a dedicated control button. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: When the button is pressed, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly raises the temperature to a fixed range, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, within minutes. The heat radiates from both left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface shrink, and fog gradually dissipates, effectively clearing frost and condensation. However, in heavy rain, its effectiveness may diminish. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The rearview mirror heating feature relies on electric heating wires embedded in the mirror, which consume significant power. Ensure the vehicle is running when using this function to avoid draining the battery, which could prevent the car from starting. Alternative methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly to allow air convection between the interior and exterior, reducing temperature differences and gradually eliminating fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to blow warm air, which helps clear fog from the mirrors.
