Where is the rearview mirror heating switch on the Changan UNI-T?
1 Answers
The rearview mirror heating switch is located next to the exterior rearview mirror adjustment button, featuring a rectangular pattern with wavy lines. 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 rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to manually wipe the mirror frequently, thereby reducing driving hazards. The working principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing 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 both left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually diminish, and fog slowly dissipates, effectively defrosting and demisting the mirror. However, in heavy rain, its effectiveness may decrease and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves electric heating wires embedded 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 car battery, which could lead to insufficient power for starting the vehicle. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air convection: Slightly lowering both side windows creates airflow between the interior and exterior, reducing the temperature difference and gradually eliminating fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting allows the use of warm air from the AC to defog the mirrors.
