Also of note, while it's been over a decade since I sold it, I'm pretty sure my 1997 Subaru Legacy Outback had separate buttons for heated mirrors and rear defrost.

Yea i remember a viral video like 10 years ago where an old guy called teh cops because he thought a young girl riding a bike past his car had broken his side mirror when it stayed bent back like that. The video was about the girl acting up and resisting after and getting arrested for it. I was the only one in the comments to be like idiots its suppose do that😩its not broken.

I think she actually gets arrested for what happens after but the fact he even called the cops for that 😩 not knowing it just bends right back

the 2022 Hyundai Elantra Preferred (Canada, in the US it would be SEL) does not have the icon on the mirror and neither the small icon on the button (says only REAR) but the mirrors are heated, you can tell by turning on the "REAR" button and touching the mirrors, they will feel warm.

[@ReyderRisco]

Same, I have the 2022 sonata Sel convenience, and it states I have it, but don’t know how to use it.

[@ReyderRisco]

@@jadeg4341 well for me, the old "REAR" button will turn everything on whether I need it or not (sometimes the rear glass has ice, or it is clouded but the side mirrors are OK) but I can tell 100% certain the side mirrors are being heated despite the lack of a dedicated button or the presence of the icon.

[@mrvang8077]

I have the 2018 chevrolet traverse awd lt and it look like it came with the heated side mirror because when I turn on the rear defrost. The two side mirror fog went away unless I'm just seeing things. I think it's a genius implementing the rear defroster with the side mirror all in one button even though it doesn't give any indication for the side mirror. Smart move GM by wiring it all into a single defrost button if you have the heated side mirror feature on the mirror. This is one that is well thought out on this 2018 traverse. And making life easier for the consumers.

[@MontySkol]

Thanks Steven, i have a Dodge Journey 2018 and been complaining about seeing that icon on the mirror but no switch, i will try it as I see Rear and Front switches. -hope that's how it will work?

So the under the wind shield wiper doesn’t HEAT up the whole window, cause a Toyota salesman told me that? Do they have that for different cars Toyota models where it heats up the whole window?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

no it is a double element like what is on the back window but it is only below the place that the wipers rest. can it clear the whole window? no. If you had ice on the window would it clear more rhan just the spot where the wipers, yes over time, and in conjunction with the defrost mode on your air conditioner it would help but it does not heat the whole window with that button.

If that Rav4 was a Limited...I don't believe it has heated mirrors. Maybe the Toyota website is incorrect. Also...there are Tacomas with a heated mirror only button.

It has standard heated mirrors on the limited. And actually most rav4s have them standard. I have not seen a separate button for the mirrors that I can recall but that does not mean they dont exist. I love getting information I dont yet know.
