How do I turn on the side mirror defroster? I don’t see a button for this, or a light indicator that it’s activated when I turn on the rear defroster or the windshield defroster?

Thank you! Do you happen to know whether there’s a setting that turns these on automatically with remote start?
I'm not seeing that option in the Remote Start feature in the manual.

Heated mirrors will turn on with remote start if the temp is below 40F
Electric Back Light (EBL)
The EBL system for the rear glass consists of two vertical
bus bars and a series of grid lines fired onto the inside
surface. The EBL system for the heated mirrors contains
an electric heater grid located behind the glass. When
the defrost system is activated, all heater grids become
energized to produce heat to clear snow, ice, or fog.
The EBL system is turned ON or OFF by a push-button
switch located in the ICS, DSM, or Radio touch screen.
The EBL will activate on Remote Start when the
temperature is 40° F or below. The EBL system will exit
Remote Start mode when the driver door is opened or there
are any control inputs.

Thank you! I didn’t see it in the owner’s manual, either. I’ll check the Uconnect manual as well.
That would explain it... you think that is something they would put in the manual..

I agree ... and I still can’t find the answer there, either.

I was also wondering about this. I would like to know what the bottom push button is for on the headlight selector. When I press it, an orange light comes on and resembles the fog light indicator. Any ideas?

turns on the light over the bed, part of the 3rd break light. it's an awful icon. not very clear
This may be a dumb question but I either do not have heated side mirrors or they are not working. How would I confirm this? I have a 2019 Laramie with level 2 group, adv safety group, and the trailer tow group, along with others but dont know how to confirm.
I use my heated side mirrors when it's foggy outside and they have condensation built up. I was told by the dealership that the passenger side mirror defrosts much faster than the driver side as I thought my driver side wasn't working and took it in to have them look at it.
I believe it's because the tow mirrors that are part of the tow package on '19 and '20 models are unheated.

Mine seem to defrost equally as fast. I think the dealer maybe making stuff up.
That's very possible. My driver side mirrors do heat up. Around the time my passenger is fully defrosted, my driver side is about halfway.

If you have them, you should see a heated mirror icon embossed in the lower right corner of the mirror glass.

do those icons light up at all?
