Default Where do I activate mirror heat? (I've tried the switch...)

Do I turn on the rear defroster or the front defogger to enable the mirror heater?

The mirror switch is already in this correct position. (In the middle)

Middle is correct - the mirrors also only heat when the outside temps dictate they should heat....

Default disagree on that...

I've been in sub-freezing temperatures plenty of times and had to turn the switch to the center position to let them defrost. They don't do seem to do it on their own.

Default so they come on automatically?

I was the car in the rain yesterday, and the mirror was all fogged up... couldn't figure out, how to turn on the heat.

Default Mirrors will only heat up when the mirror switch is in the middle position and the.......

rear window defrost is on. I hope this clears it all up.

Default Centre to activate - stay on if you move selector again

until car is off or temp rises.
In other words if you leave selector in parking mode you cancel heaters.
Why dont they just make "depress selector" activate heaters?
