Drivers are ‘wowed’ by 10-second method to defog windscreen which proves misty glass is no need to panic
DRIVERS have been wowed by a 10-second method to defog a windscreen on a cold winter’s day.
The hack shows motorists the simple fix – and that there’s no need to panic when you’re behind the wheel and your glass gets misty.
It takes pressing just three simple buttons, making sure all settings are on.
A man who gives car tips online shared the quick method for all to see.
He said windshields could be defogged in 10 seconds if people turned on their air conditioning, external circulation and rear windscreen heating settings all at the same time.
Explaining on TikTok account @chequanlaosi, he said: “Recently many fans have said when they drive on a rainy day the windshield fogs up very easily affecting the driving vision.
“This is very dangerous, what should I do?
“Today I will teach you how to solve this problem without spending a penny – don’t panic when this happens.
“Just turn on the AC, turn on the external circulation and press the sign of this sector at the same time.
“In this way, the fog on the glass will be cleaned quickly.”
It’s not uncommon for people to share tricks of the motor trade online to try to help others out.
An expert recently reminded drivers of a button inside every car which will de-fog windscreens in just seconds.
It came as temperatures started to fall and many drivers started experiencing a misted windscreen when they got into the car in the mornings.
This is often the result of the difference in temperature between outside and inside the car.
It rivers 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.
