what car u driving? the heater for the back windscreen is operated by a button. picanto one is right below the center aircon vents.
the knob which u see can turn to blow feet and windscreen.. is for blowing air at the front windscreen. dont believe can try on your fan, and ur knob to the windscreen sign, then put ur hand by your front windscreen. air is blowing up from the bottom (also from the 2 vents on your dashboard sides pointing towards your side windows)

I own a 2006 kia picanto as well and as khoo05pica hit the nail on the head wioth his description of the switch if its not there then the aliens abducted it, if your pica is fitted with an aircon slide the lever to recirculate air and turn the temp control back into the blue and turn the vent control to demist push the air con button a little red light should come on and turn the fan on high you front windscreen should defrost in about 10seconds

there are 5 "switch" on that aircon knob, 1st is aircon on top, 2nd is aircon on top and bottom, 3rd is aircon on bottom...
so what does the last 2 switch do?
seems like the 4th one is heating stripe + aircon on bottom?
5th one ??
arghhh...

It is that button above the radio on the right. Can be activated when push in. I believe when you say it's not working was bcos no light indicated as your LED is spoil. The air-con button at the bottom is air-con switch, which is for you to on-off air-con. No point for you to press it anyway.
