Default How to turn on heated mirrors

I know it seems like a stupid question but i have looked over the whole car and i cant find a button to turn the heated mirrors on or off. Do they come on automatically when you press the rear window demist? Thanks

Default I didn't know this until last week

I just found out I had heated mirrors last week. Never gets cold enough in Central CA to use them. Threw me as I never saw a switch for it. Figured the rear defrost controlled it. I love finding out little things like this about my car.

JDM models have de-ice mirrors. Very handy in the winters!

When you push the botton, the mirrors starts to vibrate and ice falls off. Also heats instantly.

My Mirrors dont heat when i use the rear-window defrost. They only will warm up if u use the right botton.

That looks like a JDM Right Hand Drive import model, hence the shaky/heated mirrors and the electric folding button.
