Can’t stand the fog that keeps invading your windshield? Here’s a very effective solution: activate the hot air and direct it towards the top of the car to dry all the moisture that has accumulated on the glass. Although cold air also works well, the fog will take longer to dissipate. Therefore this is the most common solution, especially in cars that do not have air conditioning.
On the other hand, in vehicles equipped with automatic air conditioning, there is a special button to quickly defog the windshield. If you want to do it manually, you have to activate the hot air and the air conditioning at the same time. Although this may seem like an inconsistency, when the air conditioning is on, it passes through an evaporator that reduces its humidity before exiting through the vents, improving its demisting efficiency.
