OPERATION

When equipped, the heated mirror system is activated when the rear window defogger (EBL) system is turned on. 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 Heated Glass Element testing. If only one of the outside mirror heating grids is inoperative, refer to Mirror testing.

The heating grid behind each outside mirror glass cannot be repaired and the mirror glass must be replaced if the heating grid is found inoperative or damaged.
