I have a 95 Riviera, and I thought I read that heated exterior mirrors as well as an auto dimming rear view mirror were options.
How do I know if our 95 is equipped with either?
Also, if we do have the heated exterior mirrors, how are they operated? On my Volvo, its heated mirrors were auto-magic and heated when the rear window defrost was turned on. Is that similar with the Riviera?
Thanks!
Al

Was this part of a given option package (luxury package, etc) or an individual option?
Thanks,

| Al (are you related to Big Ben btw??), I just looked at the window stickers from my old man's 95 and my own 98. His 95 doesn't have heated side mirrors but has the auto-dim rearview mirror. The original window sticker has the "Mirrors - Automatic Day/Night Inside & Outside Rearview" included as part of the "Prestige Option Package (SE)." No mention of any automatic / electrochromic mirrors anywhere else on the sticker.
My 98 has heated mirrors as a standard feature and electrochromic inside and outside mirrors as part of the "Prestige Option Package (SE)." Hope this helps! | |

| Thanks! Apparently the 95 only had the auto-dim rear-view and drivers side, but no heated mirrors. | |
