Solutions for a frequently fogging car windshield: 1. Turn on the hot air blower and switch the air conditioning to external circulation mode, adjusting the vents to defogging mode; 2. Use anti-fog spray, but avoid it at night as it may blur visibility; 3. Open the windows slightly to allow outside air to circulate inside, which will quickly dissipate the fog; 4. Use a cloth to wipe the windshield if opening windows is not an option due to cold or rain; 5. Apply dish soap or soapy water, then rinse and dry with clean water to prevent further fogging.

It's quite annoying when the windshield fogs up while driving, a situation I often encounter, mostly due to cold or rainy weather causing a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, leading to moisture condensation on the glass. The solution is simple: right after starting the car, turn on the AC button to direct cold air straight at the windshield and switch to the external air circulation mode. This allows dry air to quickly absorb the moisture. In winter, using warm air to blow on the glass works similarly. Keeping a defogging spray handy, applying it to the inside of the glass and wiping it clean can prevent fogging for about a week. Cleaning the glass is also important, as dirt can worsen fogging. Make it a habit to activate the defogging function as soon as you get in the car, ensuring clear visibility before starting, and don't let fog compromise safety. For prevention, minimize wet items in the car, keep windows closed on rainy days, and regularly check the air conditioning filter.

Which Cars Have Night Vision Systems?

Cars equipped with night vision systems include the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the BMW 760Li. Night vision systems utilize infrared technology to illuminate darkness, allowing drivers to see farther and more clearly at night. This technology significantly reduces the adverse visual stimulation caused by the strong headlights of oncoming vehicles and enhances the driver's ability to discern objects while driving in fog. The structural components of a night vision system consist of: 1. An infrared camera; 2. A light display system on the windshield. Taking the 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Business model as an example, it is a full-size sedan with the following dimensions: length 5290mm, width 1921mm, height 1503mm, wheelbase 3216mm, fuel tank capacity 76 liters, and trunk capacity 550 liters.

Why was the Lavida Hatchback discontinued?

The Lavida Hatchback version has not been discontinued. The current Lavida Hatchback is based on the 2019 Lavida Plus. However, due to the model's relatively poor sales, many 4S stores currently do not have it in stock, which is the reason why the Lavida Hatchback is hard to find. If you want to purchase this model, you can buy it at a 4S store, but you may have to wait for the manufacturer to produce and deliver it to the store, which could take about a month. Here are some related details: 1. Lavida Hatchback: In addition to the sedan version, the Lavida also offers a hatchback variant. Some people refer to this hatchback version as the Lavida Hatchback, while others call it the Gran Lavida. Strictly speaking, the Lavida Hatchback and the Gran Lavida are two different models, but the current accurate name should be the Lavida Hatchback. 2. Gran Lavida: The Gran Lavida was launched in 2013 and was based on the second-generation Lavida sedan, modified into a hatchback. Apart from the body structure, its exterior, interior, chassis, and powertrain were identical to the sedan version. Volkswagen introduced the Gran Lavida to test the waters of China's wagon market. However, the wagon market in China is not as prosperous as it is abroad. Chinese consumers are not particularly fond of this "no-tail" model, even though it offers better space than the sedan version. 3. Model Update: In 2018, the Lavida underwent a generational update, and the Gran Lavida was also updated. This generation of the model no longer appeared as a separate Gran Lavida series but was rebranded as the Lavida Hatchback.
