Unhappy fogging up

hey guys,

I need your help (I own an 06 2.5i), I want to know, what's the best way to defogg the the driver side and passenger side windows. I started up the car this moring, to melt some of the snow and to the warmed car up. The windshield and the rear window are fine (defogged). As I 'm driving I start to notice the driver and passenger windows starting fogging up. I tried turning the heat down and turning it off, but nothing helped.

Thanks in advance.

To defrost windows, use air-conditioning controls setting that uses defroster position. This directs some of the dehumidified air to the driver's and passenger's windows. Both the defroster and air-conditioning modes will de-humidify the interior of the car. This should be covered in your Owner's Manual.

The regular heater settings will not de-humidify the interior air, it will just warm it up, so your windows will still condense moisture.

And make sure your vent is set to the fresh air setting and not recirculate. Using recirculate when it's cold and/or humid will make the car fog up quickly.
