How to Defog the Civic While Driving on Rainy Days?

It is caused by the significant temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor environments. Generally, the front windshield defrosting function is used to handle the front windshield based on the driving conditions. If the configuration includes automatic air conditioning and allows selecting the air outlet position, it is recommended to choose the front windshield and center air outlet positions and turn on the rear windshield heating function. If it is not possible to select both directions for simultaneous air output, turning on the front windshield defrosting function and the rear windshield heating function while slightly opening the window can help.
Let me share some veteran driver tips for defogging your Civic on rainy days. Fog mainly forms from condensed moisture inside the car, so activating the AC dehumidifier is crucial. The Civic has a dedicated defog button - I usually press it right after starting the engine, then switch to AC mode with slightly cooler air, increasing fan speed directed at the windshield. Remember to engage recirculation mode to prevent outside humidity from entering. For heavy fog, it'll clear in minutes if you wait. Regular maintenance like keeping windows clean without oil film helps. Also, avoid soaking seat covers as they generate extra moisture. With poor visibility during rain, quick defogging ensures safety first. Having driven for twenty years, this Civic-specific method saves time from constant window wiping.
