Heated Mirrors - Description

DESCRIPTION





Electrically heated outside rear view mirrors (1) are optional on some models. Vehicles with this option can be visually identified by the International Control and Display Symbol icon for rear window defogger (2), which appears on the lower inboard corner of each outside rear view mirror glass.

The heated mirror system operates in concert with the rear window defogger (EBL) system and is controlled by the rear window defogger switch located on the A/C-heater control in the instrument panel. An amber indicator lamp in the rear window defogger switch will illuminate to indicate when the system is ON. On premium U-Connect models, the switch will be located within the Radio Receiver Module Screen (RRM). Select Climate option and the switch will appear.

The EBL system turns off automatically after 10 minutes of initial operation, then after 5 minutes on subsequent activations during the same ignition cycle. On the next ignition cycle, from OFF to RUN, the EBL timer is reset to 10 minutes. The EBL system will also turn off if the ignition switch is turned to any position other than RUN or by manually pressing the rear window defogger switch a second time.

Circuit protection for the heated mirror system is provided by a fuse in the Body Control Module (BCM).
