Default Mystery switch in 2013 Cayenne Turbo

Hi! On the bottom of my centre console is a switch that I have been unable to figure out. It looks like it has something to do with the windows... I've been unable to find anything in the manual to explain what it is. Internet searches have not yielded any results...

I've included a pic, does anyone know what this switch is / does?

Thanks in advance!

My guess is that you have the heated windshield option and that is how you turn it on.

Indeed, it is the switch for the heated windshield. My 2011 CTT has that option....

Two more button icons I've never seen... is that other one for Hill Descent control?

Yeap. You don't have that one? I thought that was a standard feature on all Cayennes.

I think if you have the sport+ button, auto start/stop goes where hill descent is. Then you have your lane departure warning in the upper right, and fire glass in lower right.

Just for that I'll try to remember to snap a pic of mine tonight on the way home. That will just kill you

According to the manual it's up on the ones beside the AC controls:

It's a like a button dance, if you've got this, that moves there, but if you get that, then these move over there...

In the '17 apparently the heated windshield is controlled together with the heated mirrors and rear-window electric defroster, not separately. What a surprise, Porsche didn't insist on a separate button for each thing...

I just re-watched the
and
videos as I keep forgetting just which part of the stalks controls what...
