The defrosting (i.e., heating) function button for the Haval F7's rearview mirrors is located on the air conditioning panel. Below are the specific details about the rearview mirror heating function: 1. Function: After pressing the button, the electric heating pads behind the rearview mirror glass will quickly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. Warm air will emanate from both left and right rearview mirrors, and the water droplets on the mirror surface will gradually evaporate due to the rising temperature, becoming smaller. The fog will also slowly disappear, thereby achieving the effect of heating the mirror, defogging, and defrosting. 2. Precautions: Each use should not exceed 30 minutes, as prolonged use may affect the mirror's lifespan and clarity.
Having driven for many years, I frequently use the rearview mirror heating function in my Haval F7. The switch is located on the air conditioning control panel, sharing the same button with the rear window defroster. The icon looks like a square with wavy lines inside, and when pressed, the light turns on, indicating it's activated. It's especially useful on rainy days or during heavy morning fog, as the mirrors become dry and glare-free within minutes. I recommend turning it on before driving in winter to avoid blurred vision—safety first. The button is conveniently located near the right side of the steering wheel on the center console, making it easy to find. If it stops responding, it's likely a blown fuse and needs servicing. During regular maintenance, ensure dust doesn’t clog the button area. Although the rearview mirror heating is a small feature, it provides essential safety for nighttime or harsh weather driving, especially on long trips.
As a young driver new to my car, I had a bit of trouble locating the rearview mirror heating switch in my Haval F7. Eventually, I found it in the air conditioning control area, actually grouped with the rear window defogger button. Just press it to light up the indicator, and the rain and fog disappear instantly—very convenient. It's positioned slightly left of center on the dashboard, near the fan adjustment knob, making it easy to reach. I often activate it in the mornings when heavy fog is common, keeping the mirror surface clear for better visibility. Regular cleaning is important, as dirt can reduce its effectiveness. During rainy or snowy seasons, it's especially useful to keep it on to avoid sudden braking with obscured vision. The switch is straightforward and intuitive, perfect for beginners to pick up quickly.
