Silly question before the frost/snow arrives...

Are the tiny "heated mirror logos" on the side mirrors supposed to ILLUMINATE when they are functioning...? or are those just little non-illuminated markings to denote that the feature is equipped in the car...?

I tested them this morning by (according to the manual) turning on the *REAR* defroster button.
The button illuminates, but the tiny mirror logos did not, so my assumptions could be:

1) It's functioning as expected. The logos are not supposed to illuminate.
2) They are not functioning correctly; the logos SHOULD illuminate.

The manual just explains how to activate them.
Thanks.

heated mirrors

The logo in the mirror on mine doesnt light up.They havent on any car I have ever owned but they sure work good.I go thro the car wash and the blower doesnt blow them off good so I turn on the heated mirrors to dry them off and it works pretty good.

I had them light-up on a previous vehicle... it was a good reminder that you had them on at times.

Did u figure out? Im 99% sure I’ve seen them light up but I can’t figure out how to turn on I tried rear defroster didn’t seem to do anything not sure if it has to be below a certain temp?

There is no indication on the mirror that the heat is on. The light you see may be for blind spot monitoring, if you have that feature.
