Fogged windows reduce visibility and increase risk. With the right sequence you can clear the glass quickly and keep it clear.
Quick defog sequence
| Step | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Max defog/defrost mode | Full airflow to windshield |
| 2 | A/C ON | Dries the air fast |
| 3 | Temperature to warm | Increases evaporation |
| 4 | Fan high | Moves moisture off glass |
| 5 | Rear defog ON | Clears rear quickly |
If equipped, use heated windshield. Avoid recirculation while defogging.
Prevention

- Remove snow and slush from floor mats
- Air out the cabin regularly
- Use A/C periodically year‑round to keep the system dry
Common mistakes
- Recirculation ON in humid weather
- Turning A/C OFF in winter
