Where is the rearview mirror heating switch on the MG6?
1 Answers
The rearview mirror heating switch on the MG6 is located on the center console. There is a square-shaped icon next to the air volume control with several vertical lines on it—this is the button. The rearview mirror heating function is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to manually wipe the mirrors frequently and 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 dedicated adjustment button. 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 (usually between 35-60°C) within a few 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 clearing the mirror of frost and condensation. However, in heavy rain, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The heating function works by using electric heating wires embedded in the rearview mirror, which consume a significant amount of power. Ensure the vehicle is running when using this feature to avoid draining the car battery, which could prevent the engine from starting. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly: Creating a gap in the side windows allows air convection between the interior and exterior, reducing temperature differences and gradually eliminating fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting: Using warm air from the AC can also help defog the mirrors.
