Heated sideview mirrors

Just noticed that there is no button/selector for heated sideview mirrors on our GLC300. Am I missing something? I don't see it show up on any of the packages in the brochures either. Is there a reason why it's not offered? Even my 2006 Honda Pilot has heated sideview mirrors. Does Mercedes-Benz assume they are not a necessary feature?

when you turn on rear defroster, it turns on the heated mirrors as well. The presumption(which every manufacturer I've ever encountered has) is that if your mirrors are frosted, so is your rear window. Therefore having separate controls is not warranted.

That was one of my thoughts. I was thrown off as well by not seeing the "heat" symbol on the sideview mirror glass like on other cars. Thanks for saving me another trip to the complex owner's manual!
