This foolproof tip will save you time on humid days in the car.
In autumn as in winter, fogging is one of the motorist’s worst enemies. And if there are techniques to anticipate its formation on the windows, by brushing them with alcohol for example, few people think about it. So, as soon as outside temperatures cool down, at the beginning of fall and throughout the winter, mist forms on the glass surfaces of vehicles parked outdoors. However, there is a simple tip to quickly defog the windows of your vehicle and thus be able to hit the road without wasting time in the car on humid days.
No need this time to buy any product to place in the passenger compartment or to make a mixture with extraordinary powers! No, you just need to know how to properly use your vehicle’s functions. When you enter a car where fog has settled on every square centimeter of the windows, the first instinct is to press the defogging buttons.
One blows air at high intensity onto the windshield, the other heats the rear window. This is the right thing to do to get rid of the fog, but to make it disappear even faster another press of a small button is essential.
And almost no one thinks about pressing this one in winter. This function, now standard in almost all new cars, is nevertheless widely used in summer to cool the passenger compartment. Yes, it is indeed air conditioning! If drivers naturally tend to turn on the heating when temperatures drop below 10 degrees, it is by using the “air conditioning” that the fog will disappear more quickly. The air conditioner dries the air and therefore reduces humidity inside the vehicle. It doesn’t matter what temperature you set the air conditioning to, 16 or 24 degrees, the result is the same.
The combination of defogging (windshield, rear window) and air conditioning functions ensures good visibility through all windows in record time. And for this no effort is required, not even that of wiping with a cloth. Three clicks are enough, you still need to know which buttons.
