FYI Heated mirrors are on even when rear screen isn't!!

[ChrisMansell]

Just thought I'd point this out as I've seen a few people claim that to heat the mirrors, you have to have them in the central 'heated' position, as well as the rear heated screen being switched on.

This is incorrect. When the switch is in the central position, they heat up regardless of whether or not the rear heated screen is on.

So to save power, leave it in the right hand position.

You're dead right!! Left or Right will do!
It would be better wired to the heated screen though, a little confusing.

ye, left will do also, but if you leave it in the right position, when parking all you have to do it push it down and both mirrors simultaneously go down so you can clearly see the lines of a parking bay, whereas if it's in the left position, you have to switch it to the right one first . . .
