Where is the rearview mirror heating switch located on the Tiggo 8?
1 Answers
The rearview mirror heating button on the Tiggo 8 shares the same button as the rear windshield heating function. Among the physical air conditioning buttons, there is one with a small rearview mirror icon next to the front windshield button. The rearview mirror heating feature 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 mirror frequently, thereby reducing driving hazards. Methods to activate 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 control panel—press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is required, as there is an adjustment button on the driver's side. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After rotating 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. Simultaneously, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually shrink, and fog slowly dissipates, effectively defogging and deicing the mirror. However, if the rainfall is particularly heavy, its effectiveness may decrease and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves embedding electric heating wires in the mirror, which consume a significant amount of power. When using this function, ensure the vehicle 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. Additional methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air circulation: Slightly lowering both side windows creates a convection between indoor and outdoor air, reducing the temperature difference and gradually eliminating fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also help defog by blowing warm air onto the mirrors.
