They didn't give you a manual when you bought the car?

They did, and I didn't see anything about how to do that. The front window button doesn't do it (I don't know what the heck that does). The buttons that switch the airflow don't have one that does the defrost I don't think. Help me out here!

Sorry, I can't but I'm sure someone will. If you didn't have a manual I was going to suggest downloading one from motoringfile.com

It either the left or right button that has the 3 wiggly arrows pointing up (under your digital readout). I never need the defroster so I haven't played with them to see. Remember it takes 10-20 secs for the vents to change positions after you make a selection.

Your MA did not go over that with you before you left? Bad, MA!

On the rotatary dial, the front window defogger position is straight up.

To the right of the air conditioning button is the recirculating air button. Under the recirculating air button is the rear window defogger. Heck, the passenger, as long as he or she is not too tall, can see the rear defog symbol just fine. The first time I got caught in a rear window fogging rainstorm I was in rush hour freeway traffic without a passenger. I never did find that button (couldn't see the symbol) on that trip.
