Heated Mirrors?

Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for a few weeks. We just picked up our new GLE350 this past Saturday and we're loving the vehicle. One thing I can't find is if it includes heated mirrors or not? The manual doesn't really say anything and I don't see that telltale defrost symbol on the mirrors themselves. We live in Ontario, Canada so having this feature is definitely a nice to have when the winter weather starts to come.

If it's not included I think that would be a serious oversight for a luxury vehicle at this price point so I hope it just auto turns on or something!

Haven't had my GLE long enough to find out but I would hope it is a basic feature.

I'm pretty sure that's a standard feature.

In my Audi Q7, the heated mirrors were activated when the rear window defogger was activated. I just checked the GLE owner's manual and there isn't any mention of heated mirrors, but I'm pretty sure that it activates when the rear window defogger is on. I'll check next time my mirrors need it.

I just checked. I pressed the rear window defog button and the mirrors started clearing within a few moments, and they felt warm. I also had the seat heaters on, but I don't think the heated seats activated the side mirror defoggers.

Awesome. Thanks so much for checking! I figured they should be standard but good to know that they actually are.
