How to Defog the Front Windshield of a Mitsubishi Outlander?
2 Answers
Park the car and turn on the air conditioning. Adjust the temperature control knob to the warm air direction, press the defogging button, and use the warm air from the air conditioning to dry the fog on the windshield. If the fog is not heavy, you can slightly open the windows on both sides to allow air convection inside the car. As the interior temperature gradually approaches the outside temperature, the fog will dissipate. You can also use the wipers directly to remove the fog, but remember to spray water while wiping to avoid dry wiping. Additionally, you can use the warm air from the air conditioning for defogging. Turn on the air conditioning and direct it to blow onto the front windshield. The cold air will quickly disperse the fog on the glass, providing a fast and direct effect.
I find dealing with foggy windshield on my Mitsubishi Outlander quite straightforward. First, after starting the vehicle, turn on the air conditioning system and locate the fan-shaped icon on the control panel—that's the defrost button, just press it. Then increase the fan speed; usually selecting maximum can quickly clear the fog. Temperature control is also crucial; if it's cold outside, I set it to hot air mode, and the fog typically dissipates in about 30 seconds. When it's hot outside, using cold air is more efficient. Don't forget to press the AC button, as it dehumidifies the air. If the fog is too stubborn, I slightly open the window to balance the humidity inside and out. Remember, keeping the glass clean is important—regularly wipe the inner surface with a soft cloth to prevent dirt buildup. After defogging, switch back to normal air conditioning mode to save power. Consistently following these small steps ensures clear driving visibility.
