Which button is for the rearview mirror heating on the Tiggo 8plus?
1 Answers
The rearview mirror heating function on the Tiggo 8plus is located on the control panel, represented by a square icon with three upward-curving arrows inside. Pressing this button activates the rearview mirror heating feature. This function 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 mirrors frequently, thereby reducing driving hazards. The rearview mirror heating function can be activated in two ways: one is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment knob—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. There's no need to manually adjust the angle, as the driver's side has adjustment buttons. When the button is pressed, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, within a few minutes. The heat is then distributed across the left and right rearview mirrors. As the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually shrink, and fog slowly dissipates, effectively defogging and deicing the mirror. However, in extremely heavy rain, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. The rearview mirror heating function works by incorporating electric heating wires into the mirrors, which consume a significant amount of power. Therefore, it's essential to ensure the car is running when using this feature. Avoid activating rearview mirror heating while the car is stationary to prevent draining the battery, which could leave insufficient power for starting the vehicle. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly to allow air circulation between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and gradually eliminating fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting to blow warm air for defogging.
