What to Do When There is Fog on the Outside of the Car Window?
2 Answers
When there is fog on the outside of the car window, you should increase the air conditioning temperature slightly and adjust the vents to avoid blowing directly on the windows. Below are specific solutions for dealing with fog on the outside of car windows: 1. Use specialized defogging products: such as defogging sprays or fog towels. Spray these defogging agents onto the inner surface of the car window and wipe them clean. While removing dirt from the glass, they also form a thin transparent protective film on the glass, which prevents water vapor from condensing into fog. 2. Open windows for convection: Crack open the windows on both sides slightly. This allows air inside the car to circulate, gradually bringing the interior temperature closer to the outside temperature, which will help dissipate the fog. 3. Use the air conditioning system: Increase the air conditioning temperature slightly and adjust the vents to avoid blowing directly on the windows.
When encountering fog on the windshield while driving, it's usually caused by significant temperature differences or high humidity. I immediately turn on the wipers to clear the fog, as obstructed visibility is extremely dangerous. If this doesn't work well, I activate the air conditioning's dehumidification mode, directing the airflow toward the exterior of the glass to quickly disperse the moisture with either warm or cool air. I also adjust the position of the window vents to ensure smooth airflow onto the glass. Preventive measures include thoroughly wiping the glass with a glass cleaner during car washes, regularly inspecting and replacing wiper blades to avoid aging and ineffective wiping, and turning on the air conditioning for a few minutes before driving in harsh weather to preheat and balance the interior temperature, reducing fog formation. By adopting these habits, fogging issues decrease, making driving safer and more comfortable.
