How do you know if you've got heated mirrors, is there a switch or something?

I think there should be a vertical line running through your side mirror glass which im guessing is a heat element.

It comes on when you push the rear screen demister i think.

i don't think it is.. the heater elements are on the back of the mirror... if you have the line i think that denotes that you have the special convex or concave (can't remember which) and that line is the kind of blind spot area...
