Anyone knows any clues if the heated windscreen is working as intended? Car was misted up tonight so put the heated windscreen on and it didn't seem to do much.
Was expecting an even demisting but just got the bottom demisting first like any other car I've owned
Heated windscreen
Pressed the button once, when I go onto the air con settings it highlights the electric front windscreen image

Not sure that's turned on the electric defroster. I've found the best way is to use the voice commands:-
Turn on (or off) defroster.
Turn on (or off) max defroster.
Turn on (or off) electric defroster.
Turn on (or off) rear defroster
Turn on (or off) defroster.
Turn on (or off) max defroster.

It works with mine on first press using the button. I asked because you can switch just the air demise through the senses screen. Maybe you’ve got a fault then?

I just press the button once and it turns on. I have noticed that I have one inoperable heater band of my screen though which I'm not happy about.
Another annoying thing is how quickly the heated screen turns off!

I'm hitting the button twice for max demist, and assuming the window element comes on.....
Anyone else noticing that the windscreen (slightly) and side windows mist up easily when driving? Have to turn heat off cabin heating to windscreen to resolve.

Never have a misting problem with mine. Aircon permanently on auto, never touch it part from very rare temperature adjustments.
