switch next to the ESP traction control on a JDM

LOl....well i pressed it and nout happened other than a little light glowing and then something started saying ..."t-minus 10..9..8.."

 

Looks like the rear window demister is turned on by pressing the first dial on the centre console by the gear stick...so im guessing the button on the right is for the windscreen (if it does anything that is). Wouldnt the windscreen have thin metal lines or something if its heated?

aha! - answered my own question.....didnt notice until i looked on the outside on the window.....its definately heated as there are loads of wires running through the glass by the black border!

 

Cool, can you take a photo of the button and post it? My JDM does not have it... B)

The wire in the screen by the black border is the in screen Antenna, the little round button by the fog light switch is to dip the mirrors when reversing (its a picture of a wing mirror on the tiny button)...

 

You sure? On a JDM? Screen antenna for what?

That would explain why what I thought was a windscreen heater didn't seem to be working! :blush:

 

The switch on mine has a zig-zag horizontal line symbol on it. Does that sound right?

The button next to my traction control is for the rear fog light. JDMs don't have rear fog lights and they are put onto a switch (generally) next to the ESP button. Go round the back and check your fog light. :thumbs:

 

My importer installed a separate switch for the fog light, so it's not that.

Here's a photo of mine for comparison. I still don't know what the switch to the right of the TCS one is for. The one to the left is the immobiliser fitted at SVA. The socket to the lower left is the old Jap immobiliser which has been disabled. The switch lower right is the rear fog light.

defo something to do with windscreen. I don't have that button on my jdm but there are so many extras they did in japan. Having said that i've driven a focus with heated front screen and you can definitely see the fine wires in the glass so you would know if you had them.

Looks like a heated front screen to me. Sure I've also heard reports that its a JDM option as someone else was asking about it and they had the wires in their scLooks like a heated front screen to me.
