The manual states that the heat to the mirrors is higher in the first two minutes after being turned on. It states nothing about leaving them on for too long. What happens if you forget to turn them off after a few minutes? Will the heating elements eventually burn out? Does the central electronics know enough to reduce or stop the power to them?
On all my previous cars, mirror defrost has been linked with rear window defrost, which is on a timer. I never had to think about switching it off. I prefer this to VW's setup which requires you to shut the defrost off manually.
