What is the method to defog the windshield of a Corolla?

[MacAriel]

Corolla's defogging method varies depending on the situation: 1. For models equipped with manual air conditioning, turn the air direction adjustment knob to the defrost/defog mode, direct the air conditioning vents towards the windshield, use cold air in summer and warm air in winter, and adjust the fan speed and temperature as needed; 2. For models equipped with automatic air conditioning, locate the defog button on the central console and press it to activate. Taking the 2020 Corolla as an example, its body dimensions are: 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700nm, a fuel tank capacity of 50l, a minimum ground clearance of 152mm, a trunk capacity of 470l, and a curb weight of 1335kg.

I've been driving a Corolla for five years, and the most effective way to deal with fogging is to directly use the front defroster button, the one with the fan-shaped icon on the center console. Pressing it automatically activates the air conditioning compressor, and the cold air blows onto the windshield at maximum speed, clearing it in less than half a minute. If the rear window fogs up, press the rectangular icon to activate the heating wires. In winter, I usually start by turning on the warm air directed at my feet, then switch to the windshield defrost mode once the engine warms up. This prevents the fog from getting worse. I always keep a dry towel in the car—when it rains or my glasses fog up right after getting in, wiping them is the quickest solution. Another little trick: leaving the window slightly open when parked helps reduce fogging the next time I drive.

Fogging is essentially the condensation of moisture inside the car on the glass when it meets cold surfaces. Corolla owners can take the following steps: First, immediately press the front windshield defogger button—this is the most direct and effective method. Second, adjust the air conditioning temperature to around 22°C; setting it too cold can cause repeated fogging. Third, turn on the external air circulation to reduce humidity inside the car. Fourth, use the rear window defogger button for faster heating. Fifth, keep a defogging spray handy and apply it to the inner side of the glass. Avoid wiping the fog with your hands while driving, as it is unsafe and leaves fingerprints that can further blur the glass. If fogging repeatedly occurs on rainy days, simply keep the compressor running.

New drivers encountering fogging on their Corolla shouldn't panic. First, locate the front defroster button on the center console - press that wavy fan-shaped button, then turn the fan to high speed to blow air onto the windshield. If using heat to defog, remember to wait until the coolant temperature gauge moves before turning on the heater, otherwise cold engine air might worsen the fogging. For foggy side windows, simply adjust the vents to blow directly on them. For rear window fogging, press the rectangular icon button. When parking, it's best to roll down all four windows for ventilation before closing them. Avoid leaving wet umbrellas in the car regularly. There's also a folk remedy - wiping the interior glass with diluted dish soap solution, which can last several days.
