Default How do I find out...

if my truck has heated mirrors?

I have a lariat with heated rear slider but I dont see the small heated mirror icon in the corner of my mirrors. I figured it would be standard with all the other stuff on the truck. Ideas?

If you have a rear defroster then you have heated mirrors. They come on automatically when you press the rear defroster button.

The 2012 Lariat has dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control as standard. It's EATC panel is shown above.

I only have one icon and have the heated mirrors and no there is no label on the mirror either.

Use this luxury item with care as Ford has also equipped these trucks with the rear defrost exploding rear window option.

Many stories of it happening on here. Many are refused warranty replacement, seems to be hit and miss whether the dealer does it or not.

For this reason I do not use my rear defrost/heated mirrors.

Wow. I read that somewhere but didn't know they weren't warranting them. Why?

I looked and my truck just had the icon with an R next to it.
