How to deal with foggy windows when driving in the rain.

(Baonghean.vn) - Car windows fogging up when driving in the rain is a fairly common phenomenon. The following simple methods will help drivers quickly overcome this problem.

When driving in the rain, many car windshields and windows fog up, reducing the driver's visibility and increasing safety risks. This occurs when there is a large difference in temperature and humidity inside and outside the car, causing condensation to form on the glass.

To clear fog from glass, you need to dissolve the condensation. You can try the following methods:

Lowering the car windows helps regulate the temperature.

In light rain, drivers can lower the windows on both sides by about 5-10cm and turn on the fan to circulate air. This air exchange between the inside and outside helps the windows return to normal; do not lower them more than 10cm to prevent rain and dust from entering the car.

Use a glass drying system.

Front and rear window defrosters are a common feature on many modern vehicles. The buttons for the front and rear windshield defrosters are usually located on the center console, near the air conditioning system, with distinct symbols, and an indicator light will illuminate when activated.

Typically, in vehicles with automatic climate control, the defroster will automatically turn on and off after a certain period of time. If the defroster doesn't turn off automatically, users can disable this function after the windshield is clear of condensation to optimize fuel consumption and the air conditioning system.

When using the defroster function, the car windows must be closed. If even one window is not closed properly, the system will work less effectively and fogging may still occur.

Turn on the fan in external air intake mode.

Turning on the fan and setting it to outside air intake also helps balance the temperature inside and outside the car, preventing condensation on the windows. This method should be used when the windows are just starting to fog up, or before condensation forms on the windshield or rear window.

Use the air conditioning system.

Choose the air conditioning system's windshield airflow setting, and adjust the fan speed and temperature appropriately, because if it's too cold, condensation can easily form on the outside of the windshield.

Do not use the air conditioner on a hot setting to dry the condensation on the windshield, as the condensation is caused by the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle.

*How to fix a situation where the wipers don't clean the windshield properly.

When driving in the rain, in addition to foggy windows, we often encounter situations where the wipers don't clean effectively, leaving streaks or water marks and dirt stains in your field of vision...

Here's how to fix it:

- Add some specialized cleaning solution to the windshield washer fluid reservoir to help wipe clean and prevent streaks on your car's windshield. Note that you should not use regular detergents like laundry powder, as these can damage the rubber wiper blades.

- When drying the glass, avoid using excessively high temperatures to prevent damage to the rubber squeegee blades.

- Regularly inspect the wiper blades for any signs of deformation.

- Avoid parking your car in direct sunlight to prevent the windshield wipers from deforming.
