Heated side mirrors

When I bought my 2010 SV it said on the description that it had the heated side mirrors, how do you turn them on? I've got the heated steering wheel and heated/cooled seats and know the buttons for those, but not seeing anything for the side mirrors

I believe the heated mirrors turn on anytime you turn on the rear defogger.

How would someone in in So Cal know? You must have read the owners manual.

Also, only the driver side mirror heats up. The passenger side mirror does not.
My 4th gen had BOTH of them heat up... Kinda disappointed why Nissan choose to heat only the driver side.

I gotta double check that. I though both of mine worked in my 2010. Heck, my 1992 3rd gen had it where both mirrors did this. The other cool thing about my 3rd gen was that if you had the heater on, it had a lever where you could get nice cold air to your face via the middle vents.

The FSM wiring diagrams show that both LH and RH mirrors have defoggers. They will both be activated when the rear window defogger is turned on.

Makes sense as both my mirrors would clear up when I activated the rear window defroster.

I take it back, I got it mixed up with only the Driver Side Mirror Auto-Dimming.
Both mirrors do defog as everyone else says. Silly me...
