- CX-5 2017 GT AWD
It was a horrible drive from NY to Baltimore while snowing. I have to frequently use the wiper fluid just to be able to drive safely. Using just the wiper don't cut it. Never had this experiennce before.
Does the 2017 GT have the windshield wiper de-icer? If so, how do you turn it on?
Yes. Front defroster switch. Also heats the side mirrors.
Isn’t it the rear defroster switch?
Yup, it's the rear, not the front. The front goes full blast, that's all it does.
FYI - no de-icer for rear window
Then what are those heating elements for? (uhm)
Or do you take exception with the idea that it's strong enough to melt ice? (flame)

Just to de-fog (demist) and that is it
Atleast that is what we have here
It works like the ones you have on the rear mirror, it activates the heating elements and melts the ice. But I find it somewhat useless while driving... it doesnt really melt the ice on the wipers itself...
Or maybe we don't need it as major capital cities don't get snow!Maybe you blokes down under are getting GYPPED! (wedge)

What about my upcoming ski vacation? [I wish!]

Yes but that's not in major capital cities. Only certain towns get snow here
