Cold weather causes a temperature difference between inside and outside the car, leading to fogging of the windshield due to condensation. Here is a trick to help drivers deal with this problem.

In Vietnam, especially when operating in cold and humid conditions in the North, drivers often encounter the phenomenon of fogging up the windshield or side windows due to the temperature difference between the outside and inside of the vehicle. This obstructs the driver's vision, making it difficult to control the vehicle.

If you encounter this situation, what should the driver do? Below are three buttons that safe driving experts use to fix the phenomenon of foggy windshields due to cold and humid weather.

The first thing the driver needs to do is press the A/C button, set the temperature to low and the fan to maximum to gradually reduce the temperature difference with the outside environment. The next button to press is the defogger button, usually identified by the symbol of an upward-pointing wavy arrow.

Finally, the most important button is the interior air recirculation button, also known as the interior air intake button, which has a curved arrow symbol inside the car that needs to be turned off. By turning this function off, the driver can ensure that his car gets fresh air from the outside, and also reduce the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car faster, thereby preventing the windshield from fogging up.

In addition, according to the experience of some drivers, to help the inside of the car balance the temperature with the outside, lowering the windows on both sides is also a possible solution, which also helps the car save fuel. However, this method is only applicable on cold and dry days.

When driving in rainy and humid weather conditions that are not too cold, if the defroster is on, the driver should close all the windows in the car so that the defroster system can operate effectively and quickly remove moisture from the car windows.

In addition to the above tricks, drivers can use anti-fog solutions that cost only a few hundred thousand dong to clean both the inside and outside glass surfaces. This method takes a bit of time but brings significant results, so you should clean the glass surface once a month.
