How do you turn on the heated mirrors?

Depending on the trim level of your car, it may have heated mirrors. This allows you to defrost them easily, removing frost and fog that might obscure your vision. Turning them on is simple. Here’s how:

  1. Locate the button on the dash that controls the rear defroster.

  2. Press it.

  3. It will activate the rear defroster, but also turn on the heating elements in your side view mirrors.
