I think you can set it manually, by pushing the button with the arrow pointing straight up, but that never seemed to work as well.

Ditto - I found that boosting the fan speed up and not using the "automatic" setting solved my problem

Hey, the ONLY "stupid" question is the one that is NOT asked - asking is how we all learn
"a stupid person does not learn from his(/her) mistakes" "a smart person learns from his(/her) mistakes" "a wise person learns from others' mistakes" (this is usually the answer I give when asked why I'm still single)

I was just wondering about this same issue because my wife drives our 2002 325xi and when you press the "DEFOG" button for the windshield you can then reduce the fan speed but the setting still keeps the air directed at the windshield.
I think its definitely weird that BMW doesn't use the same settings for all of their vehicles. Pressing the up arrow doesn't really direct the air at the windshield, it uses the vents closer to the passengers and angles the air up and toward the cabin. Thankfully, that usually does a decent job of clearing the windshield in the X5, but not as good as the actual defogger setting... Anyhow, it's frustrating, and I'm surprised that nobody has come out with a DIY fan tweak to remedy this.

That's a defroster guys, not a defogger. That's why it blows full blast hot air at the windshield.
For front defog, I just push the up arrow, turn on the AC, and manually adjust the fan speed. |
