Being Canadian, you may also need to know that in order to get the rear view mirrors to defrost, you need to turn on the
rear defroster. Front defrost doesn't do it. Apparently this isn't unusual for a vehicle, but this is my first car with heated mirrors and I couldn't figure out.
Although reading the section in the manual now, the information is confusing since in the first bullet it says to use the rear defroster and in the second it says the windshield defroster will do it.
(Ignore the numbering, it is actually 16 and 17 in the manual.)
- Touch to warm up the rear windshield. After 15 minutes, the rear window defroster automatically turns off. The exterior side mirrors are also heated whenever the rear window defroster is operating.
- The windshield defroster distributes air flow to the windshield. Touch once to defog the windshield (the icon turns blue). Touch a second time to defrost the windshield. Touch a third time to turn off and restore the air distribution, heating, and fan to their previous settings. In cold ambient temperatures, the exterior side mirrors are also heated whenever the windshield defroster is operating. See Cold Weather Best Practices for more information on preparing for cold weather.
