Heated side mirrors on a Jeep Compass work by using electrical heating elements embedded within the mirror glass or backing plate. When the driver activates the heating feature, an electrical current flows through these elements, generating heat that melts ice, snow, or condensation on the mirror surface. This enhances visibility and ensures safer driving conditions in cold or inclement weather. The feature is typically controlled via a switch on the dashboard or integrated into the vehicle's climate control system.
