How do the heated mirrors work?

I was in VA this past weekend and we had a heavy frost. I turned on front defrost, not sure that I turned on the rear defrost. My mirrors did not clear. Do you have to turn on the rear defrost to turn on the heated mirrors? I didn't turn it on as I have a fiberglass cap and my rear window didn't frost. I don't see any other buttons for doing it.

Yes rear defrost turns heated mirrors on

On my 22 XLT the rear defrost button also turns on the mirror defrosts, however, it doesn't seem to stay on very long... I wish there was a way to set it to stay on for longer.
