Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Heated Mirrors: Description
The optional heated mirror system only operates in concert with the rear window defogger system, and will be automatically turned off after a programmed time interval of about ten minutes. After the initial time interval has expired, if the defogger switch is turned on again during the same ignition cycle, the heated mirror system will automatically turn off after about five minutes.
The heated mirror system will automatically shut off if the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, or it can be turned off manually by depressing the rear window defogger switch a second time. Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and operation of the heated mirror system.
