Ok more research suggests it might be a windscreen wiper de-icer. Similar to this perhaps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l59GdsRFENQ

It is definitely the windscreen de-icer. As you have discovered there is no mention of it in the owners handbook and I also had no help from the dealer when I asked the same question when I purchased the car.
If you let your eyes focus on the actual windscreen glass you can see the heating elements clearly. It works very quickly.


Heated steering wheels were not made available on Australian MD Mondeos.

The demister / de-icers in both the external rear vision mirrors are controlled by the rear window demister button.

Thanks for that I will put that in my manual in the back.
