Where is the rearview mirror heating switch of Roewe i5?
4 Answers
The rearview mirror heating switch of Roewe i5 is located on the center console, next to the front windshield defogging switch. The icon features three curved upward arrows combined with a rectangle. 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 frequent manual wiping by the driver and thereby reducing driving hazards. The methods 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, where rotating the knob can turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel, where pressing the heating button activates it. There is no need to manually adjust the angle, as the driver's side has an adjustment button. The 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. The heat will dissipate from the left and right rearview mirrors. Meanwhile, as the temperature rises and evaporates, water droplets on the mirror surface will become smaller, and fog will gradually disappear, thus heating the mirror and removing frost. If the rain is particularly heavy, its 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 rearview mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of electricity. When using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in an ignited state. Avoid activating the function when the car is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which could lead to insufficient power for starting the car. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air circulation: Crack open the side windows slightly to allow air flow 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 use the hot air blown by the AC to defog the mirrors.
I've been driving the Roewe i5 for over a year, and the rearview mirror heating switch is located on the central control air conditioning panel, bundled with the rear window defrost button. The icon is a rectangle with wavy lines—it lights up when pressed, indicating the function is activated. On rainy or humid days when the mirror fogs up, it clears in just a few seconds, instantly improving visibility. It’s genuinely convenient. If you can’t find it at first, check the car’s user manual or take a photo of the control panel to zoom in and identify the icon—avoid pressing other buttons randomly. Remember to turn it off before parking and shutting off the engine to save battery; using it while the engine is running is the safest. Occasionally wiping the mirror surface to remove dirt can extend the heater’s lifespan. This feature is thoughtfully designed, especially for safer winter driving.
As a car enthusiast, I'm quite familiar with the location of the Roewe i5's rearview mirror heating switch. It's located in the air conditioning control area on the driver's side, with the small button right next to the defrost switch, featuring an icon resembling a small mirror with wavy lines. Press it and the indicator light will turn on; wait a minute or two for the mirror to warm up and defog. If the ambient temperature is too low, it might start a bit slower, so don't rush or fiddle with it. It's advisable to regularly check if the function is working properly, such as testing it before rain; when switching cars or for new drivers test-driving, prioritize locating this button. It's a dehumidifying marvel, significantly reducing the risk of driving in foggy conditions. The center console layout is neat and user-friendly, more straightforward and intuitive than older models.
The switch for the Roewe i5's rearview mirror heating is located on the center console's air conditioning panel, sharing an icon position with the defrost button. Press it once to activate the rearview mirror heating; the icon is a square with a curved line marking. It works exceptionally well in rainy weather, instantly clearing up blurry mirrors. If you can't find it, refer to the manual's illustrations or search for images online for details. After activation, it operates using the engine's power to save electricity. Regularly clean the mirror surface.
