If you have a heated windshield there will be an icon for it on the climate control panel.
Isn't it just the Max (front defroster) icon, which I would have thought would be there either way?

That is my understanding as well and what I used when I cleared ice before. I will do some more digging around to see if there are any other bits of info on activation though.

I believe there should be a separate icon, I’m unable to verify this since my car is still a month away from delivery.

But the configurator says the heated windshield ”Provides quick and draft-free removal of condensation and frost from the windshield when the outside temperatures are cold.” If it’s tied to the defrost function it won’t be draft-free unless on vehicles with the heated windshield the fans don’t run.

I assume it will be the same as ICE Macan - see video

In the manual for the 2025 macan EV the only way to activate the heated windshield is to use the max front windshield button. In the manual for the 2025 macan ICE there are two ways to toggle the heated windshield mode.

There are other reports in this forum of people having issues with togging the heated windshield via the rear defrost button. This makes me believe that we have once again been lied to by the porsche configurator 😡
