Do I have Heated Mirrors?

Early this morning when I was leaving for school my car was frosted over and wet from the nights moisture. I started my 1995 Explorer XLT and left for school as usual. Heater blasting, wipers going and rear defroster. As I was driving I noticed that the exterior mirrors were starting to unfreeze. Up until this point I didn't think the truck had heated mirrors. Now I am second guessing. I don't have the window sticker and never saw it since my grandparents gave me the car. The mirrors aren't labeled heated. Yet, my grandparents got options on that truck that were only avaliable on the Eddie Bauer and Limited models. Does anyone know of anyway I can figure out if my mirrors are heated?

I believe the heated mirrors operate when you turn on the rear defrost . Check the owners manual to see if it is installed on your Explorer .

I'll check tomorrow. Another cold, wet moring tomorrow. Wouldn't the manual say: If Equipped? That wouldn't tell me if I had heated mirrors would it?

If your mirrors are heated the mirror glass will be etched "Heated". They are activated by your rear defroster.

I realized this morning that I don't have heated mirrors. It was just weird how the mirrors looked like they were defrosting. Oh well. I'm fine without heated mirrors.
