Ford is well-known for its innovative features. As anyone who's ever faced a cold winter's day knows, ice and snow can cause morning delays. That's why Ford invented heated outside mirrors, which allow your vehicle to remove ice, frost, and snow.
How to Know if You Have Heated Side Mirrors
Look for the specific Ford heated mirror icon on the left side of your mirrors. Remember that if you have power-folding mirrors or BLIS, you still have heated mirrors, but you'll see a different kind of icon. Learn both symbols from the video so that you can check to make sure that you have heated mirrors. If you do, now you have to learn how to activate your heated mirrors on cold weather days.
How to Turn Your Heated Side Mirrors On
Your rear defrost button is probably one that you know well by now. It's an essential part of your morning during the winter. The great news is that your Ford vehicle's heated mirrors activate automatically when you turn on your rear defrost. Once you press that button, your mirrors will begin defrosting along with your rear defrost.
How long it takes to defrost will sometimes depend on how cold it is outside that day or whether or not you have an auto-dimming driver's side mirror. In these cases, it might take a bit longer. Thankfully, Ford makes sure that your mirrors are defrosted for you every morning at the click of a button. There's no need to grab a windshield scraper. Thanks to the innovative heated exterior mirrors, the vehicle does all the heavy lifting for you.
