    OMG! Duh! I didn't see the heater symbol on the mirrors and thought it didn't have that option. Thanks to all.

    I wondered the same thing about a month ago, it took me a while of flipping through the manual to find it. Neat feature, haven't used it in Florida yet. Maybe if the conditions are right for condensation to fog up the mirror I'll get to try it out.

    On the back of the side door mirrors are small connectors for wires and the back of the mirror has wire lines through it like a spiral and when you push the button, it heats the wire defrosting the mirror. On cold days you can see the pattern of the wire.

    Doing good here brother. At the dentist right now. Not sure how to do this with a mask. Might have to paper bag it over the head with a hole in it :anonymous:

    LOL! I thought it was a 'hand' on the button and it was to heat the steering wheel - no such luck! But useful when it snows!! (in fact, got a dusting this morning - New Mexico)

    I'm envious! I miss the snow. It's 95 degrees here, and sucks the life out of you the second you step outside if you're not in the shade. lol
