Although some people think that these lines are only for aesthetic purposes, they have nothing to do with this situation.
In fact, it has the ability to improve the driver’s viewing angle. So what exactly does it do to provide this convenience?
These lines, which are 3-5 cm apart, are called “rear window residence”.
When you say residence, what it does will start to take shape in your mind. There is a current flowing through these lines, and in this way, ice, snow and mist accumulated on the window are slowly melted so that the driver’s field of view is not blocked, especially in winter. This basic function ensures that the glass is clear.
This system may vary according to car brands and models, but basically the lines fed from the battery serve the same purpose by using a small current.
So why not on the windshield?
The reason is actually quite simple. If it were in the front, these lines would have blocked the view. Well, how does the snow and mist disappear in the front? Because there are ventilation holes on the front panel.
Another question arises in mind, why is the front system not also on the rear window? Because it would not be very ergonomic to put a heating unit at the back as in the front. It is possible to melt frosting at the touch of a button.
During this heating, no sound is produced and as the lines heat up, gaps gradually open in the glass.
It is operated by pressing the key with three wavy arrows and a rectangular icon.
So, did you know the meaning of these lines, or did you just find out?
