Is there any way to activate the front and rear defrosters separately?

As far as I can see there's just one defroster [virtual] button in the climate controls that seems to turn on and off both defrosters.

If I just wanted to clear the rear windshield of ice is there any way to do this without activating the front defroster?

Is there a setting or button that I'm missing or not aware of?

I thought the button just activates the rear defroster per the manual?

Oops, didn't see that.

My bad.
