Hello all
I have recently acquired a Kia Carens 56 plate and so far i am very impressed especially seems i was test driving a Zafira and expected to buy that.
My question is quite simple. I have a switch ( 1 of 3, although one is blanked) to the right of the steering wheel and it has a icon of a front windscreen with a electrical sign going through it. In the manual it clearly states that this is the windscreen De-icer button (if fitted). There is a fuse in the internal fuse box for it and when pressed it lights up.
However I can not find anything on the internet about this and the garage I bought it from who are a Kia dealership, have said that no Kia's are fitted with heated front screens as far as they know. They also said that only Fords and Jaguars have it. Incidentally they were previously a Ford Dealership.
Does anyone know what is going on here and how can i prove that this is what should be fitted. I have noticed that there is no fine element running through the screen as there was on my Mondeo.
I think what has happened is maybe the screen got damaged and for whatever reason the heated screen was not replaced, probably the driver didn't have Fully comp cover and could not afford it.
Any thought would be very helpful.
