Drivers are only just realising little-known button will de-fog your windscreen in seconds
AN expert has reminded drivers of a button inside every car which will de-fog windscreens in just seconds.
As temperatures start to fall many drivers experience a misted windscreen when they get into the car in the mornings.
This is often the result of the difference in temperature between outside and inside the car.
Now the team at TikTok channel Precise Auto have warned drivers not to attempt to use a cloth to clear the windscreen.
The video explains: “You should not wipe your windshield when it’s fogging. There’s an automatic defogging function built-in inside that could do a better job of getting more visual and clearer on the road when driving.
“It’s way more effective than wiping it with a cloth or tissue. Do not wipe it with a cloth or a tissue.”
The solution is found by locating your car’s “automatic windshield defogging function” and turning it on.
Precise Auto advises to turn “Recirculation mode” off – meaning air is not needlessly moved around the car.
The next step is to turn on external air intake and turn the windshield defrost button on.
Turning the air conditioning to a “medium position” will “remove the fog from the windshield quickly and effectively.”
Drivers are only just realising that there is one household item that most of us own that can help heat up our cars much faster than usual.
The item is revealed in a TikTok video and it has motorists stunned that they didn’t know the bizarre but simple trick before.
The video is shared by @drivewithkruzee – who regularly posts similar clips to his 17,000 followers – and has more than one hundred likes.
His top tip is to find a blanket and put it on the engine beneath the hood of the car the night before you drive – to keep it warm overnight.
