I should have the heated windscreen, but no idea if i do, as can't find a button for it. Does the "Windscreen Max" button automatically activate it? :?:

This thread seems to suggest its activated with the same button as the rear heater.

I guess you'll find out next winter!

There is a button on the middle spoke of the steering wheel, it is on the inside and only needs a light small touch to activate.
You will get notifications on the MFD for on and off

^^ That button is for the heated steering wheel!!

The windscreen heater is activated using the rear screen demist button.

Yep. It’s the same button as the rear window demist which is not ideal. The only way you’ll know it’s working is by waiting for a frosty morning, that’s the only way I can tell. I know some on here don’t think it’s particularly effective but I’ve been pretty happy with it on a number of icy mornings earlier on this year.

Thanks guys, rear window heating noted. I'll worry about it next winter now then!

The heated front screen has a much bigger area covered by the darker hashed around the mirror and radar area. The screen itself also has a bronze look to it in bright sunlight.

It’s is activated by the same button as the heated rear screen.

From certain angles, you can see the colouring of the gel in the screen

I just had my "Masterclass" and asked about this. Apparently it is on all the time hence no button. I wasn't convinced...
