My 2021 Seat Leon has this idiotic panel on the semi underside of the dash on the left side of the steering wheel.

It controls the headlight modes, fog lights, and, most annoyingly, front and rear de-mist, all controlled by touch buttons.

So if you are driving and the windows are fogging up for some reason, you need to take your eyes off the road and carefully touch only the two buttons for de-misting.
