Ah ok, so it’s auto only, unlike the rear, unless you have the blower on too? I noticed this morning when I was driving to buy my extension lead with perilously low SoC and subsequently freezing my arse off as I was driving with the climate switched off, that the windscreen stayed clear the whole time even with the shocking weather.

The little windscreen icon with the seated character was still displayed on the climate display.

Has anyone confirmed that the front heated windscreen will operate without the climate on as long as the little windscreen icon is on?
I’d be quite happy with just the heated screen, seats and steering will on
It would of been much easier to just have a button for the front heated screen!

Nope. I've found the only way to drive without the climate is to give the front window a 5 second blast using the demist button manually whenever it starts to mist up. This varies obviously depending on how many breathing people are in the car, and the general temperature and humidity inside/outside.

Thanks, odd implementation of the heated front screen on Honda’s part really! No idea when it’s on or not
