V70 Demisting/Defrosting Door Mirrors

Stone Free · Nov 21st, 2011, 09:38

First winter with my V70 2002 (51) & with the damp foggy mornings, the door mirrors are misted up as you would expect. However can't find a switch to demist them. Do the mirrors on a D5 S have heated mirrors, or is this only available on the SE ?
Thanks

Two ways to find out:-

1) Put the heated rear screen on and wait - the mirrors will clear, or not;
2) Un-clip the lens from the mount and look at the back for the element.

Others may be able to confirm re model/spec.

Normally the door mirrors are linked to the rear-screen demister, there's no seperate switch for just the wing mirrors. Try turning that on and see if the door mirrors clear.
