Default When do the heated mirrors come on?

Lots of dew on the outside mirrors these mornings in the 6ix, but they are slow to unfog.
Temp probably 18C or 65F.

Even after 5 minutes driving they are still completely covered with moisture and downright useless. Was a little bit dangerous this morning when trying to make lane changes. Sigh.

Yeah, so it looks like it's on 25%, when I really need it to be 100%. I think my BMW had it always on.
My wipers are always set for auto on, so that doesn't help after the first start up swipe takes place.

Thanks!

The mornings have been cool, in high 40s with lots of condensation on glass and mirrors. I have left wipers on, following advice here. It takes a squirt or two of washer fluid to keep glass wet, but within two blocks mirrors clear. Works well now, as it's about 5 blocks before I get on interstate and need the mirrors clear. Before mirrors wouldn't clear in time. Thanks again!
