What is this switch for?

Noticed this switch earlier today and meant to look it up.

What does this switch control?

 

Side mirror defrost

 

Yep, side mirror defroster. Never had a vehicle with them before and it’s a really small but nice feature.

 

Bacon frying.

 

Heated mirror

 

Heated side mirrors are a blessing in Canada. Scaping frost off side mirrors scratches them and they usually frost right back up. I had a 2nd gen that didn't have them. Bought an after market kit for several hundred $ and installed myself. Took almost whole day to install but was worth it.

 

They work great for rain too. Helps dry them off and keep them clear.

 

that owners manual is pretty cool

rain x helps too

 

I installed some on my 2nd gen as well. I just bought the heating elements and put it together myself on the cheap.

It’s nice to be able to defog them here in the rainy PNW. Pretty much a mandatory safety feature. Beats when I used to have to roll down the passenger window and wipe the mirror off going 60.

 

That can only go well ...

 

Like I said in my first post, I meant to look it up. So I asked here last night. My sincerest apologies for not waiting till this morning to look it up in my owners manual.

 

I was glad to see them, even on my SR level. I use them all of the time in the winter.

 

Great feature...kinda afraid to use it at times though. I have seen a few users' mirrors crack from the heating element overheating.

 

It’s Friday!!☄️ It’s the flux capacitor engage button, be strapped in when engaging…

 

So is google.

 

There's another button that says SOS under a plastic cover that's hinged......don't press it like I did when seeing what various buttons did.

 

It makes your Tacoma drive in the ceiling of tunnels.

 

No, but the truck started taking to me in a way I didn't like.

They don't overheat. Using them is better than what might happen if you don't.
