"The exterior mirrors are heated automatically if
the rear window defroster is switched on and the
outside temperature is low."
Because there's no dedicated button, one would never know about this feature unless you scoured the manual.

I knew that they were heated, but I've never had a need to turn them on, because our car sits inside most of the time during icy weather. If I would have had to turn them on, I would have wondered how they worked!!

Now, if that stupid Start/Stop ECO button would stay off, I'd be a happy camper. I know there's an aftermarket fix, but I'm too stubborn to actually "pay" to fix something MB should never have designed in the first place.

Like you, unless I'm actually driving, my car is always in the garage. Even so, the mirrors could still develop frost after pulling out into the cold weather. You've never had a need to turn them on because they've already been on. If you've ever used the rear window defroster, your heated mirrors have been on. You just didn't realize it. At first, I thought this setup was kind of odd. Now, I think it's pretty ingenious. Think about it for a minute. Anytime your rear window has frost, your rearview mirrors are likely to frost over as well. Eliminating the need for a separate switch means there's one less thing to turn on.

.. I guess it's better than the VW emissions scandal. I'd rather have to turn off a button than to be lied to.
