Has My Car Got A Heated Front Screen?

[Robbocop33]

Mk1 c5 2.0hdi exclusive,just wondering if the front screen should be heated?Dont see a fuse listed for it,there are those little dots on the screen above the rear view mirror like there's something around the screen,has anyone got one?

Really frosty this morning but nothing seemed to start melting except where air was coming out of dash at screen bottom.

Only cars I have come across with a heated front screen are Ford Mondeos. You might have a light sensor on the windscreen behind the mirror which is used to auto switch on the intermittant wipers and head lights.

 

One problem with a diesel is they are slow to warm up compared to a petrol since the engines are more efficient. Some de-icer will help you get away quicker than waiting for the car to warm up.

Or a couple of litres of Warm (not Hot) water.

No, none of the C5s have a heated front windscreen with heating elements within the glass.
