How To Defog Your Car Windows Quickly by NaijautoDotCom(m): 7:30am On Jan 18, 2019
A dimmed vision caused by fogged windows is not only annoying but it also increases the odds of encountering accidents significantly. Therefore, the driver should know a few tips to quickly overcome the situation, ensuring the safety of themselves and also the people on the road.

The driver could simply use a towel to wipe off the moisture, but this only gives temporary results and requires the driver to take his hands off the steering wheel and his eyes off the road, and this would be quite dangerous. The following tips can help people solve the problem.

1. Use window defroster
Modern car models have built-in window defroster and luxury cars can even have one for the rearview mirrors. The driver can easily activate the feature via the built-in symbol keys at the center gauge cluster. This is the simplest way as you just have to press the button to solve the situation.

*Note: although the drying feature can be automatically turned off after a certain period of time (10-15 minutes), the driver should turn off the function after seeing that the fog has been cleared to reduce fuel consumption, optimizing the AC function.

Though this button can turn off by itself after some minutes, it's best if you do that manually to save more fuel

2. Adjust the AC
Car windows are fogged due to the difference in temperature between the car and the cold temperature outside, so turn the air ventilation door to the windows to lower the temperature on their surface. That said, do not let the temperature inside becomes too cold or the outside of the windows will be fogged instead. Using the AC effectively is one of the most effective ways to defog the window.

3. Eliminate temperature difference between inside and outside the cabin
A simple way to solve this without wasting the car's power is to lower the window down about 10-15 cm to balance the outside temperature with the inside. But doing it this way is not feasible when it's raining. The driver can switch to the outside air mode to balance the temperature naturally.

Dis is one very important information most drivers don't know considering majority of vehicles on our roads do not have a fully functional vent and AC system.. Everyone assumes simply turning on d A.C. is d only solution to fogged up windshields and windows..
