How to Defog Your Windows

Steps for how to defog your windows

1. Start the Car

   First, start the vehicle.

2. Turn on High Heat

   Turn the heat dial to the highest setting.
   
   

3. Set the Fan to the Highest Setting

   Put the fan dial to the max setting.
   
   

4. Set to Defrost

   Press the defrost button, which will have an icon that represents a windshield with arrows representing airflow.
   
   

5. If the Vehicle Doesn’t Switch from Recirculation to Outside Air Automatically, Press the Outside Air Button

   Normally the air will get inside the interior from the outside. If the car doesn’t automatically switch from recirculation (button that has a car with a bent arrow inside) to outside air, press the outside air button (button that has a car with an arrow going inside). Air from the outside will travel through the heater core, and will be warm enough to defog your windows.
   
   

6. Turn on the AC If It Works

   If the air conditioning is working and has no problems, turn the AC on. Turning the AC on will help defrost the windshield faster, since there is moisture on the interior of the window.
   
   

7. Wait for the Fog to Disappear

   After the interior warms up and dries out, the fog should disappear.
