They're not, they turn off "after a few minutes" according to the manual on one page, and 20 mins on another - although thats stated for the combined rear screen / mirrors instructions - so may just refer to the rear screen.
Hmm. Well it's the 2012 GBT I bought with zero miles on it last September, so I'd expect it still to be working. I'm SURE I noticed it doing it's thing last year, but this year they are staying frosted.
Rear screen is working fine, and they are electrically adjustable, and I do have the outside temp guage. According to spec sheets online, all but 'Pop' spec come with them as standard.
I'll try the turn it on and see if it gets warm trick, and if not, a trip to the dealer me thinks !
:bang:
Yep, should be under warrenty, interesting about them turning off after a few mins, don't do that on the Stilo, and don't recall seeing that on the Bravo handbook
It IS Fiat we're talking about. Notice the 'For versions/markets where provided'. I might just have a Barbados spec car
Ok, so they do work (and they DO get warm - cheers for the suggestion). But, what seems to be happening is they get warm enough to melt the frost/ice... but not quite warm enough to make it evaporate... so, it turns to steam/mist... they look like they are still frozen, but they are actually just misted up.
But, a quick wipe after a couple of minutes, and all is well. Maybe I'm expecting too much of them ?
That would probably be fine, but no, it turns to mist instead
