HEATED MIRRORS

[agpthng]

I have a 2019 JLU and it came with the cold weather package - heated steering wheel, seats and mirrors. I've read the manual front to back and can't find anything about how the heated mirrors are activated. I thought they heated up when you used the defrost? But I can't find it in writing. My husband said there must be a setting for it, but I don't think there is.

TIA

It turns on when you use rear defrost, correct.

So they turn on when the rear defrost is on?

I feel that I am the right man for this job, folks; please stand back and let me work. (see user name)

That is exactly what it says in the post you quoted, yes.

I replied before I saw the picture of the manual.

I get it, man. Forgive me, I couldn't resist a hanging slider, right over the middle of the plate.

Kind of sucks for soft top users with the cold weather package, then, to not have heated mirrors.

Oh yes I would think so!

Mine is still on order, but my research indicated that there is still a defroster button, but it's just for the mirrors.

I used mine briefly this morning for the 1st time and they work quick. I hit the rear defroster button and they cleared up in 5 seconds. Nice feature that I wish I had on my JK.

Ahh, good to know! Thanks.

What mirrors????

I'm a little baffled. We've only had our Jeep since summer, but in the three or four days where we've had heavy frost in the mornings, even with all the windows on the JL frosted over, the mirrors have remained clear. Because of the way they are recessed into the mirror housing, frost doesn't seem to accumulate on them. So what's the point of having them heated? Anyone getting frost on their mirrors?

Best,

We had some snow here in New England (2 days) and my mirrors had frozen rain and snow on them, pushed the rear defrost and low and behold they worked great! I have a 45 minute commute and the thought of driving without being able to not have visibility would be bad ...specially since the snow was still coming down on my drive in. I of course removed as much from the truck as possible but ...I can tell you, they are def useful.
