I've only had my premium SE hybrid for a month, when I went out in it last night in the fog the door mirrors misted up and I was searching around for the door mirror heater button but couldn't find it. I've looked in the owners handbook and there is no mention of heated door mirrors, not even on the top spec model. I was very surprised as I just expected that this car would have heated mirrors. I guess Hyundai have not incuded them in order to extend the range of the EV and increase the mpg of the HEV. Even though the electric door mirrors automatically tilt when the car is put in to reverse it is odd that they are not heated as well especially considering all of the other safety features that the Ioniq has I would have thought seeing clearly in the door mirrors would have been an important safety feature. Very disappointing. Has anyone else had problems with misted door mirrors, particularly during the cold weather?

The Canadian brochure that I have indicates and hybrid and electric trim has heated side mirrors.
Note that on my 2012 Hyundai Elantra, the heated mirror is combined with the rear window defrost so turning the rear window defrost also turn on side mirror heat. May be it's the same for the Ioniq?

My hardcopy Ioniq brochure (UK) states "Door Mirrors - Electric Adjustment and Heated" across all variants and trim levels.
As Jan says, probably operates with rear window demister like most cars nowadays.

my i20 was the same, rear window and mirrors on same button
for an eco car its a bit of an oversight, as the extra power required to run the rear window when you only need the mirros clearing

In the UK brochure it states door mirror : electrical adjustment and heated. Nowhere in the instructions does it state how you switch them on or off. The rear window defroster makes no mention of doing the mirrors at the same time. Next time I need to defrost the mirrors I will try the rear window button.
it is the rear demist / defrost that activates the heated wing mirrors, and they are very efficient at clearing them 
Yes it is odd that this is not mentioned in the manual. I know it's been standard on Hyundai and Kia since I've been driving them in 1996. I know it used to mention it in their manuals, but somehow, somewhere along the line, they must of taken it out during their rewrites of various sections and it never got put back in.
LoL. I never knew that this feature existed. I have noticed that the mirror clears up but I thought it was jut due to driving around.
How do I get rid of condensation on the interior of the front windscreen . There was quite a bit of frost on the front and rear windscreen and around 5 minutes of front /rear demister worked.
However I was left with a lot of moisture on the inside and I had to wipe it away
Is there any way to avoid this ?

Haven't seen the wiring loom, but maybe it IS a cost saving measure - the routing is via the rear window...
In any event, they are heated as part of the same circuit as the rear window, and when that goes on the mirrors clear in about 3 minutes from -3° Celsius.
You can clear them manually within about a minute if they've iced over, or without switching the rear window on at all if it's just wet, not cold. Wipe 'em with a cloth.
It's not compulsory to use them...

I have one of these on top of my dashboard,:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pingi-Dehu...I3VKBJS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1510229483&sr=8-2&keywords=car+dehumidifier+bag- the humidity in Cornwall is very high and I get a lot of condensation on windscreen. Haven't had it long enough to tell if it works but I weighed bag before and after microwaving and it held about 60gms of water
I used one off these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp on my last car, which suffered badly with condensation . Clear windscreen every day after
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but it did solve a dilemma for me. My window sticker said heated side mirrors but there was no switch and no instructions in the manual where it talks about the side mirrors.
After reading this thread, I looked in the section under rear window defroster and lo and behold there is a paragraph telling that the heated mirrors work on the same switch as the rear window defroster. They must have added this paragraph for the 2018 owners manual.
My VW Jetta had a separate switch on the door handle.
