Where is the rearview mirror heating switch on the Vision X6?
2 Answers
The heating button for the Vision X6's rearview mirror is located on the car's air conditioning control panel, integrated with the rear window defogging function on the same button. It is rectangular in shape, featuring an icon with three curved lines and arrows from bottom to top. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rain or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to manually wipe the mirror frequently, thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: The rearview mirror heating function generally has two activation methods. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment function key, where simply rotating the knob can activate it. The other is set on the air conditioning control panel, where pressing the heating button activates it. No manual angle adjustment is needed, as the driver's side has an 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 within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees. Heat will dissipate from the left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, due to the temperature rise and evaporation, water droplets on the mirror surface will become smaller, and fog will gradually disappear, thus heating the mirror and removing frost. If the rain is particularly heavy, its effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves adding electric heating wires to the rearview mirror, which consume a significant amount of power. When using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in an ignited state. Avoid activating the heating function when the car is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which could leave insufficient power for starting the car. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for convection: Crack open the side windows slightly to create air convection between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and allowing the fog to dissipate gradually. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can utilize the hot air blown out by the AC to defog the mirrors.
I've been driving for over 20 years and often encounter foggy rearview mirrors that obstruct visibility. On the Geely Vision X6, the rearview mirror heating switch is quite conveniently designed—it's usually integrated with the rear window defogger button on the center console. The button icon looks like a small square with wavy lines. Once pressed, the mirrors automatically heat up to clear the fog. I make it a habit to press it before heading out on rainy or cold days, and within about ten seconds, the water droplets disappear, significantly improving visibility. Just remember not to leave it on for too long, as it drains the battery and may cause wiring issues—short bursts are best. If you press it one day and nothing happens, it might be a blown fuse or dirty button contacts, so it's best to have the circuit checked at a 4S shop for safety. Keep in mind that clear rearview mirrors are crucial for driving safety, and developing a regular cleaning habit can help prevent problems.
