Glass fogs up especially intensely in high humidity, low ambient temperatures and in the presence of several passengers. In such conditions, before starting to drive, it is better to warm up the interior in advance so that the inner surfaces of the glass warm up.
Long-term use of the recirculation mode, when air from the outside does not enter the passenger compartment, contributes to rapid fogging of the windows and deterioration of the air quality in the car.
To eliminate fogging on a car with air conditioning, you must:
- turn temperature control 1 to maximum value;
- turn on windshield defroster mode 2
, while the electric fan 3 will automatically switch to maximum rotation speed; - turn on the air conditioner 4.
In this operating mode, the windshield and side windows are blown with an intense flow of air, which passes through the air conditioner to remove excess moisture.
On a vehicle with climate control, you must press the windshield defroster switch "
", the control unit will automatically move the flaps, turn on the air conditioner and set the maximum rotation speed of the electric fan.
To eliminate fogging of the rear window, electric heating is provided, which is switched on using the rear window heating switch.
To reduce the fogging effect, special compounds are produced that are applied to the glass surface in advance, forming a water-repellent film. The choice of composition must be approached with a certain degree of caution. Choose and purchase products from well-known manufacturers and trusted suppliers, so that you don't have to wash off a cloudy oil film with rainbow streaks from the glass later.
If the fogging becomes more intense each time and takes longer to remove from the glass, check the interior for sources of moisture and take steps to eliminate them. This could be damp carpets or upholstery, leaks from the heating system pipes, or perhaps a clogged air conditioning filter needs to be replaced to improve air exchange.
