The front windshield can defrost (red) and defog (blue). But the rear windshield can only defrost (red)? I didn’t see blue icon for rear.

Is the orange circled different? Looks independent on the heat icon for the windshield vs the windshield button itself.

Why would the rear defog? I don't know of any car on earth that has defog on the rear window.

It's running the heating elements in the glass for defrost, there aren't any vents there.

So the way it is set right now, I’m defogging the windshield and it has heat element turned inside the glass? I didn’t know the glass has heating property. So advanced.

This is how every vehicle for the past 6 decades has defogged rear windows... It's the little black lines epoxied to the glass (or laminated between the panes) that is a resistive heating element. So, either you're being verily sarcastic and I missed it, or ... this is your first vehicle? Congrats?..!

Yup the lines in the back window, those lines oh those lines. They always bothered me those lines. Wish they would
just vent the rear window with heat and cool that way the back of passenger heads would get warm or cooler faster. Now that would be advanced technology. Not trying to be mean So please don’t take the comments wrong Jyeh74 and congratulations on your RT1 or RS1.
