The rearview mirror heating button on the Bin Yue is located in the central control area. It is the fifth button from the left in a row of buttons, with an icon of a rectangle containing three upward wavy lines. This button controls both the rearview mirror heating and the rear windshield heating. Rearview mirror heating 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. 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 the driver's side has a control button. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After rotating the knob, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature (usually between 35-60 degrees Celsius) within minutes. The heat is then distributed across the left and right rearview mirrors. As the temperature rises, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually shrink, and fog slowly dissipates, effectively defrosting and defogging the mirror. However, if the rain is particularly heavy, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The rearview mirror heating function works by incorporating electric heating wires into the mirror, which consume a significant amount of power. When using this feature, ensure the car is running. Avoid activating it while the car is stationary to prevent draining the battery and potentially causing starting issues. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air circulation: Crack open the side windows slightly to allow air exchange between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and gradually eliminating fog. Using the car's air conditioning: Adjust the air conditioning to the appropriate setting to blow warm air for defogging.

When driving this car, I also figured out that the rearview mirror heating switch is actually hidden in the central control air conditioning panel. Take a look at the button area on the driver's side—there's an icon with a square glass and wavy lines, which is the same button as the rear window defroster. It's especially useful on rainy days or when fogging up in winter. Just press the button, and within three to five minutes, the water droplets on the mirror will evaporate completely. Two things to note: first, don’t keep it on for too long—the manual says exceeding 15 minutes might damage the circuit; second, if pressing it doesn’t work, remember to check the F21 fuse in the fuse box. After washing the car, I love using this feature to clear any residual water stains on the mirrors.

Last time my best friend borrowed my car, I specifically taught her how to locate the rearview mirror heating button—it's the square marked key next to the air conditioning knob. This design is quite user-friendly, located in the same area as the vehicle stability system switch. Remember to start the engine first when using it, otherwise the battery might drain easily. Once when I went out in drizzling rain, pressing it for about ten minutes made both mirror surfaces clear up nicely. If the button malfunctions, it's likely a fuse issue, and replacing it yourself is quite convenient. A reminder to everyone: the heating wire is quite delicate, so never scrape the mirror surface with hard objects.

Let me tell you straight: Look for the square button with three wavy lines on the air conditioning control panel, located closest to the steering wheel on the left side. You'll feel the mirror heating up within two minutes after activation - super useful in rainy weather. Here's a quick science lesson: This function works via an electric heating film that automatically maintains a constant temperature at 50°C. If it fails, first check the 7.5 amp fuse. Remember not to activate it immediately when mirrors are frozen below zero - wait for the car's heater to defrost them first for safer operation.

What documents are needed for car pickup?

You need to bring your ID card, a copy of your ID card, and your driver's license. No other documents are required. The documents and receipts you should have after purchasing a new car include: the vehicle registration certificate, the invoice from the purchase, the insurance policy, the vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle qualification certificate, the purchase tax receipt, the annual inspection, and the compulsory insurance label. Precautions for car pickup: First, visually inspect the body paint to check for scratches, spots, dents, and wear. Observe the paint under sufficient sunlight to see if there is any color difference. Open the door and push it from several angles to let light shine from different directions to check if the sheet metal is smooth and if there are any signs of repair. Check the vehicle nameplate. The car nameplate is located on the side of the driver's door or in the engine compartment. Pay attention to whether the manufacturing date is too far in the past. Generally, if the time exceeds six months, the car is likely to be a stock car or a test drive car. Also, the information on the vehicle nameplate should match the vehicle qualification certificate. Check the windshield. As shown in the figure, the numbers represent the most recent production year, and the dots represent the production month. If the dots are on the left side of the number, it means production in the first half of the year. Subtract the number of black dots from 7 to get the specific year. If the dots are on the right side of the number, it means production in the second half of the year. Subtract the number of black dots from 13 to get the specific year. Check the basic functions of the vehicle, such as whether the windows can be raised and lowered normally, whether the air conditioning is cooling, whether there is any odor from the vents, whether the functions of the central console are operating normally, whether the wipers are working properly, whether the sunroof can open and close normally, etc. Test run the vehicle. If you are allowed to start the engine, observe whether the engine idles smoothly, whether the steering wheel shakes noticeably, whether the front and rear seats vibrate noticeably, and whether there is any noticeable noise inside the car, etc.

Should the Old Tiguan Use 95 or 92 Octane Gasoline?

The old Tiguan should use 95 octane gasoline, as this is the fuel grade officially recommended in the vehicle's user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the user manual, the old Tiguan also has this information indicated on the fuel tank cap. The fuel grade can usually be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is even higher, 98 octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the required gasoline grade, as high-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane fuel. Factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the old Tiguan occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after the tank is empty. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower-octane fuel, using higher-octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane number may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher-octane fuel, using lower-octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane number, the fuel may ignite prematurely during the compression stroke, creating resistance before the spark plug fires. This resistance can make the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without obvious engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.
