2025 DOLPHIN Premium heated mirror glass: distinguish heating from power folding

In rain, an owner may find the mirror glass unclear but request parts by saying only “the electric mirror is not working”. Distinguishing glass heating from housing folding on Australian MY25 DOLPHIN Premium helps identify which function needs inspection.

Heating and folding are separate factory entries

The specification table lists power-heated and adjustable exterior mirrors for Premium, with power folding as a separate entry. A local brand network entry supports this Premium's MY25 identity.[Factory equipment][R14][Model-year supporting source][R17] Sharing a mirror housing does not make the functions the same action.

A heating function does not establish that a heating element can be purchased separately, or that the supply boundaries for glass and housing are public.

Record the side and the specific behaviour

Retain left/right identification, the actual glass condition, visible settings at the time and original vehicle messages. Record any separate changes in folding or power adjustment rather than replacing the description with “electric mirror broken”.

List the actual heating, folding and adjustment behaviour separately, together with the side. If procurement is needed, match the glass, housing or other object confirmed by the repairer to the original part identity, so that “electric mirror” does not conceal several requirements.
