Sorry if this has been covered already but -

Does the GS have heated mirrors? Do any models have them? I cant find any information and this morning the screen cleared great but could not see a thing out of door mirrors

I find it hard to believe they would go to the trouble of fitting folding mirrors that do not de-ice?

Found out this morning (-2) that my HSE has them. They worked of the rear screen button.

Thanks - checked LR website looks as though standard but not working - first problem found! Knew it was too good to be true. Hope they dont give me any software updates.

Hi there. My second day in my new GS. My mirrors did not defrost this morning so either mine are 'broken' or it's not there.

I certainly missed the quick clear screen my Focus ST had this morning. Still, can't have it all can we? Can we?

Heated mirrors only work when the rear window heater is on I think you will find, seemed to work on mine when pressed the botton

You're quite right...I do have heated mirrors on my GS. I tested them last night and was pleased to see them work immediately.

I pressed the demist prog button and it switches on heated rear window but mirrors do not defrost?

I will try heated rear window without prog button to see if works - seems a bit odd though

Tbh, I'm still getting to grips with mine so I'm no expert yet!

Again, I have the standard GS and the door mirrors do defrost...vwery quickly too.

I pressed the rear demister and they came obn then. If you place the back of your hand on the glass you should feel the heat.

Don't use the back of your hand

You'll find your tongue more sensitive, and if your mirrors ain't heated, people can laugh at you with your tongue stuck the mirror  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I found this in the on-line manual:

"Note: The operation of the heated mirrors is
fully automatic, and requires no driver
intervention."

So it should work automatically. This is the case also on my merc a-class, they come on wherever outside is beloew 7 degrees Celsius.

Manual? What's a manual?

Interesting though! Thank you. That does clarify things more.

Sorry, I wanted to say something like "owners handbook" or instrcutions for using. Don't know what is the proper name for that in English ..I thought "user's manual" is ok.
