If you set the temperature to a high temperature when demisting, it should still provide heated air, just not through the dash vents aimed at you. Is that not sufficient? Does your car has seat heaters?
Testimonial: "Thanks for that, I understand what you say, but it's not very satisfactory as it performs at the moment. Yes, it still provides heated air, but just through the dash vents, but it would be much better to have both the windscreen and the other car heating vents working. And no, my model does not have heated seats. So, any ideas if I can get both zones working together? Otherwise, the car is excellent!"
I don't have specific experience with your model, but I would imagine the limitation is for safety purposes. It's important that the windshield stay defrosted. It's not so important that the passengers remain completely comfortable. By not diverting airflow away from the windshield when Defrost mode is selected, it makes the defrost function as effective as possible. Of course you could argue that the fan should default to 3/4 speed and not allow other speeds to be selected when defrost is selected and I wouldn't really have an argument to stand on....
Thanks for that, Rodney. Great car, shame that this little quirk can't easily be got around! I'll just have to live with it, eh? Regards, Derek
