Even if someone doesn't have a degree but closely reads and follows what nairaland is about and posts, such a person would even be more sound than some degree holders in Nigeria!

Nairaland is a school! Some of the things you see here are going to resurface in places where you would later need them.

It's for the heater if you lived in a snowy area you would use it often its called a defroster

When it rains and you need to clear the windscreen and you don't have a wipe you can turn it on just check your a.c. switch and move it to the red side and switch the other control to the the one where you see like a symbol with something that looks like it has an S coming from a mini drawing of the vent

Regardless of our weather, we need it.
If you ever drive withour ac while it rains with your widows shut, then your glass fogs up quickly, even here in nigeria and the rear deffoger would clear up the screen fog rapidly.
Actually our weather is much more humid so when it rains we are quite worse off with the fog on the glass.
Unfortunately, not much people think of this helpfull add-on function due to ignorance, hence they end up cracking the windows a bit, and (more often than not) getting drenched by the rain just to reduce the fog.

Re: Lines On The Backshield Of A Car,what's The Exact Function?? by zealed64: 1:31pm On Aug 15, 2016

so there's a switch somewhere on the dashboard that activate the 'rear dryer'?? .havent seen the switch before...can you show us a typical example of what the switch looks like in the car, a picture precisely??

DjAndroid:
In a layman's English, that Is dryer. When it's raining and cloud forms on that rear windscreen making visibility very poor, the driver puts on thee rear dryer, electric current passes through the lines and it begins to dry the cloud.

Op, you don understand abi?

By the time you know which button activates it, you will come back here for testimony. That's when your learning will be complete. Try it!!!

It is used to heat the glass by electric current passed through it.
Cars were invented in cold countries where ice forms on vehicles during the winter months. The front windsheild needs full visibility so it does not have the same lines but rather uses air vent to blow hot air. The rear window uses the filaments(lines) embedded because its easier and cheaper than running air vents to the rear window.
Fogging is usually caused by heat during the rainy days in hot weather, so cold actually helps it to stop. In cold weather it is caused by heat and increasing the heat may not always help, but it will keep ice from forming. You will notice cars also have a setting blow very hot air from the ventilation system. Its a design for ice cold climates where cars were first invented.

See my own car and what it looked like during the coldest time of the year in a place where ice forms in the winter months. If you put a bucket of water outside at night and come in the morning to get it, it will be a bucket of solid ice.

Sometimes the ice will pack on the windows so hard like hardened cement and only heat can remove it without risk to damage or scratch the window.
The button that activates it is called the "Defroster", that is evidence that it is intended for frost(ice) removal. In Many modern cars it is automatically engaged when the front dashboard ventilation is turned on to blow heat.
