Which One is the Car Defogger Switch?
2 Answers
Car defogger switch is located in the middle of the center console, usually next to the AC button. Here is some introduction about car defogger: Appearance: The car defogger switch symbol features a front windshield with three upward-waving lines. The semi-circular icon represents the front windshield, while the rectangular icon indicates the rear window. Function: The car defogger switch controls the defogger, which is used to reduce moisture, fog, and frost on the front and rear windows as well as the exterior rearview mirrors, thereby improving visibility. Precautions: The defogger consumes battery power when operating. Always start the engine before use. After pressing the rear window defogger switch, it will automatically turn off in 10 to 15 minutes. Once visibility becomes clear, even if the defogger hasn't automatically turned off yet, remember to manually switch it off. Never use it for extended periods to prevent rear windshield breakage.
I also got confused looking for the defogger switch last rainy day! Nowadays, cars on the market have that fan-shaped pattern with rising mist symbol, usually prominently located on the AC panel. Older cars might have a knob with a defogging icon, while newer models all use touch controls or integrate it into the central display. My car is even more magical—pressing the AUTO AC button automatically activates it. For defogging, you must press the windshield pattern button (the one with a square glass and three wavy lines) and pair it with maximum fan speed to be effective. One last piece of advice: don't leave the manual buried at the bottom of the box—button locations vary significantly between brands.
