Heated door mirrors
Are the door mirrors heated? Now that it's getting colder, my door mirrors are frosted in the morning, after driving for 5 minutes with the front and rear defroster on the frost is still there. Please advise.

Haven't heard that before, but it might be right.
I pretty sure the are activated if the temp is belowe freezing and when you activate the wipers.

Hey guys, I noticed that the exterior mirrors don't seem to dim much or at all compared to the interior mirror when headlights are behind you.
The owner's manual says that they should dim automatically... Anyone else notice this too? Thanks sorry bout the thread jack oh and here is the manual info: Automatic heating Both exterior mirrors are automatically heated whenever the engine is running. Automatic dimming feature Both exterior mirrors are automatically dimmed. Photocells are used for control in the Interior rear view mirror, refer to page 56. |

The OM says if the engine is running the mirrors will heat automatic.
