Heated Mirrors: Operation

When equipped, the heated mirror system is activated when the rear window defogger (EBL) system is turned on, refer to ELECTRICAL/HEATED GLASS - OPERATION . When the heated mirror system is activated, an electric heater grid located behind the glass of each of the outside rear view mirror becomes energized and produces heat to help clear the mirror of ice, snow, or fog.

If the outside mirror heating grids are both inoperative, refer to ELECTRICAL/HEATED GLASS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING and/or ELECTRICAL/HEATED GLASS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING . If only one of the outside mirror heating grid is inoperative, refer to ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .

The heating grid behind each outside mirror glass cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the mirror glass must be replaced. Refer to BODY/EXTERIOR/GLASS-SIDE VIEW MIRROR - REMOVAL .
