I have no idea. It's not in the manual insofar as I can tell.

Thanks!

On my '11 AWP they come on when I use the rear window defroster.

Ha! We just our subaru a few days ago. My husband asked me how the mirrors and wipers work. I had no idea. Thanks for posting and the response.

Mediocrity:
You push the button on the climate control panel that has a picture of which defogger/defroster is on - there are 2 of threm - it would be the one to the right of the front windshield defogger/defroster button. It works in conjunction with the rear window defroster/defogger - when the rear one is on, the side mirror defogger is on as well!

Thats good to know, especially with the 2 feet of snow we got at our house but they were probably working and I didnt even know it because I had the rear defrost on a lot the past couple of days.

And just for information, your Dealer can program the rear defroster so it will remain on any time the switch is pushed on. In cold weather it is a nuisance having it turn itself off after a few minutes!

Big thanks everyone. You made my drive through the mountains today a lot easier.

So the warming of the front wiper also comes on when the rear window defroster activiated? I thought that I read that from some on eposting here that these items were programmed to come on when the temperature got below a certain level.

The rear de-fog,outside heated mirrors, and windshield heater all work off of rear de-fog button on my 2010.
