The rearview mirror heating switch on the Borui GE is located in the row of buttons below the air conditioning vent on the car's center console. The second button from the right is the rearview mirror heating switch; press it to activate. The car's rearview mirrors are positioned on both the left and right sides of the front of the car, as well as inside the car at the front. They serve as the "second pair of eyes," expanding the driver's field of vision. Below is additional information about rearview mirrors: 1. Rearview mirrors are categorized by installation location into exterior rearview mirrors, lower rearview mirrors, and interior rearview mirrors. 2. By purpose, exterior rearview mirrors reflect the rear side of the car, lower rearview mirrors reflect the front lower part of the car, and interior rearview mirrors reflect the rear of the car and the interior situation. 3. There are two types of rearview mirror surfaces: one is a flat mirror, which provides an image the same size as the naked eye sees, and the other is a convex mirror, with a spherical surface that provides a smaller image than the naked eye sees but a larger field of vision.

I've been driving the Borui GE for a while, and the heated mirror function is particularly useful in rainy or cold weather. The switch is usually located on the driver's left door panel, near the mirror adjustment knob. That knob looks like a circular rotary dial, with a heating icon (wavy lines or similar symbol) next to or at its center. When I encounter fogged-up mirrors while driving, I simply turn the knob to the heating position, and it starts working within a few minutes. However, it's recommended not to keep it on for too long to avoid putting extra strain on the battery, especially when the car is parked and turned off, as it can easily drain the power. The Borui GE's design is quite user-friendly, and its linkage with the rear window heating button also enhances visibility. Remember to check the switch's contact points during maintenance to prevent oxidation, as wear and tear over time may lead to poor contact. Overall, it's safer to have a professional technician inspect it to avoid damaging internal wiring by attempting to disassemble it yourself.

What does VIN code mean?

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code assigned to a vehicle, used to identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications of the car. It serves as a unified global identification system for road vehicles (essentially the car's ID card), simplifying vehicle information retrieval and improving the accuracy and efficiency of fault feedback. China's Ministry of Mechanical Industry issued the "Vehicle Identification Code Management Rules" (GB/T16735-1997, GB/T16736-1997) as early as December 25, 1996, clearly stipulating that all newly produced vehicles in China after January 1, 1999, must use the VIN. The VIN consists of three parts: 1. World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI): The WMI code must be applied for, approved, and filed by the country of origin before use. It is a unique combination of letters or digits assigned by national authorities to identify a specific manufacturer. The first character indicates the country or region of production, while the second and third characters identify the manufacturer or company. 2. Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS): Located in the second part of the VIN (positions 4-9), the VDS consists of six characters that describe the general characteristics of the vehicle. The order and meaning of these characters are determined by the manufacturer. For example, passenger cars indicate type, series, body style, engine type, and restraint system; trucks specify model, series, chassis, cab type, engine type, brake system, and gross vehicle weight rating; buses denote model, series, body type, engine type, and brake system. The last character of the VDS is a check digit to prevent input errors. If fewer than six characters are used, the remaining positions are filled with manufacturer-selected letters or numbers. 3. Vehicle Indicator Section (VIS): Located in the third part of the VIN (positions 10-17), the VIS is an eight-character code assigned by the manufacturer according to international conventions. The first character (position 10) indicates the model year (ensuring no repetition for 30 years). The letters and numbers used are: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (excluding 0, I, O, Q, U, Z). Specific years are determined by international standards. To prevent confusion, the letters "I," "O," and "Q" are not used in the VIN, leaving 33 available symbols. Meaning of VIN codes: The first three characters of the VIN indicate the country of origin, manufacturer, and vehicle type. For example, LFW refers to trucks, LFP to passenger cars, LFB to buses, LFN to incomplete vehicles, LFD to spare codes, LFS to special vehicles, LFT to trailers, and LFM to multipurpose passenger vehicles. Here, "L" stands for China, "F" for first, "P" for passenger, "W" for work, "B" for bus, "N" for incomplete, "M" for multipurpose, "S" for special, and "T" for trailer. Off-road trucks, dump trucks, semi-trailer tractors, and passenger-cargo vans are classified as trucks. Jeep-type vehicles include both off-road and non-off-road passenger cars. Passenger cars converted from buses fall under the dual-purpose bus category. If the vehicle model code includes a "5," it indicates a special-purpose vehicle. Apart from passenger-cargo vans, these can also be considered trucks, with bodies resembling passenger cars.

What is the function of antifreeze?

Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head when the vehicle is parked in cold winter conditions. Antifreeze should not be mixed with water. As a type of alcohol-based chemical reagent, antifreeze provides freeze and rust protection. Adding water can alter its properties and reduce its effectiveness. Functions of antifreeze: Antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and providing year-round protection against scale and corrosion. Composition of antifreeze: The main components of antifreeze are 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances. Types of antifreeze: Antifreeze is generally categorized into three types: ethanol-water type, glycerol-water type, and ethylene glycol-water type. Can different antifreezes be mixed? It is necessary to use antifreeze from the same brand. Different brands may have varying production formulas, and mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between additives, rendering them ineffective.

What to Do When Your Car Key Battery Dies?

Run-flat tires are technically known as air-maintaining tires. The difference between them and regular tires is that when a tire is punctured and loses pressure, a regular tire will be flattened by the weight of the car, causing the tire to detach from the rim and rendering the vehicle immobile. In contrast, run-flat tires can support the tire with their thicker sidewall structure, so even if the tire loses pressure, it won't be flattened.

What is the difference between full-time four-wheel drive and on-demand four-wheel drive?

The differences between full-time four-wheel drive and on-demand four-wheel drive are: Different operating states: Full-time four-wheel drive maintains four-wheel drive at all times, while on-demand four-wheel drive activates four-wheel drive mode only when needed, typically operating in two-wheel drive mode under normal conditions. Different structures: Compared to full-time four-wheel drive, on-demand four-wheel drive has a simpler structure. Due to its unique design, it is more suitable for vehicles with front transverse engine and front-wheel drive platforms. Different power transmission: Currently, on-demand four-wheel drive is limited by its structural shortcomings when transmitting power between the front and rear axles, unable to deliver more than 50% of the power to the rear axle. This results in a smaller adjustment range for active safety control compared to full-time four-wheel drive. Different off-road capabilities: On-demand four-wheel drive uses a lower-grade viscous coupling center differential, making the structure simpler, more cost-effective, and more fuel-efficient. Vehicles with on-demand four-wheel drive have similar fuel consumption to regular two-wheel drive vehicles. On-demand four-wheel drive, also known as real-time four-wheel drive, is controlled by a computer chip that switches between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. It can automatically identify driving conditions and switch modes based on changes in the environment. On rough, hilly, or slippery roads with low traction, the vehicle automatically sets to four-wheel drive mode, while on flat urban roads, it switches back to two-wheel drive. Full-time four-wheel drive vehicles maintain traction on all four tires at all times, with each tire independently distributing power and receiving equal torque. There is no concern about losing power. Additionally, the differential can distribute torque to a stable ratio, enhancing tire drive and anti-slip performance. The vehicle remains in four-wheel drive mode throughout the entire driving process without requiring system control or scenario judgment. It offers better off-road and handling performance, greater stability, and can adapt to snowy and slippery roads, but it consumes more fuel and has poorer fuel economy.
