The rearview mirror heating function is usually integrated with the rear windshield defroster button, featuring an icon of a rearview mirror with three wavy lines. Below is relevant information: 1. Peugeot 408: The Peugeot 408 is a compact car launched by Dongfeng Peugeot on January 25, 2010, equipped with mainstream engines from DPCA, offering two displacement options: 2.0L and 1.6L. The introduction of the Peugeot 408 significantly expanded Dongfeng Peugeot's product lineup in the 1.6L-2.0L golden displacement market. 2. Model Introduction: This CVTS-II engine delivers a maximum power of 108KW/6000rpm and a maximum torque of 200N.m/4000rpm, which is essentially the same as the 2.0L engine in the current 307 model. While there appear to be no major changes, incorporating more new technologies into a mature powertrain reflects Dongfeng Peugeot's stable and cautious approach.
When driving my Peugeot 408, I noticed that the rearview mirror heating switch is exceptionally easy to locate—it's positioned on the air conditioning control panel in front of the driver's seat, typically marked with an icon resembling a car window or mirror with wavy lines. Usually, it shares the button with the rear window defogging function. Just press it to automatically activate the heating system, which quickly removes fog, proving especially useful during rainy days or winter. I still remember the first time I used it; my visibility improved instantly, significantly enhancing driving safety. Operation is straightforward: after starting the engine, simply press the button gently. It operates for about 10 minutes before automatically shutting off. If there's no response, it might be necessary to check the fuse or settings. Overall, the design is very thoughtful, suitable for both beginners and experienced drivers.
