Steamy Windows, Zero Visibility
By Jo Huckvale
Tina Turner may have had a point, some activities that take place in your car, may result in naturally occurring fogging. This will indeed add to one’s privacy, although choice of location is also crucial as I suspect Gillian Taylforth would, with hindsight, testify.
However, many of us are more often engaged in more prosaic pursuits that result in steamed up windows; just this morning I drove home with two very wet and panting dogs after a wonderful walk in wet woodlands. Additionally there has been; bringing the children home form swimming on rainy Saturday mornings, lugging several bags of wet washing to the launderette after the washing machine had broken down, and driving home from Snowdonia with a dripping tent after packing it up in the rain, exacerbated by the wet sleeping bag that my daughter had thrown up on the night before. I expect that police officers on a stake-out in an unmarked car, in January, with a flask of tea may also experience difficulties but as advanced drivers they will of course know the solution.
So how do we “standard drivers” deal with the problem?
The basic principle is that you need to replace the moist air in the with dry air, and direct that dry air (either warm or cold) onto the windscreen. The faster the air flow the quicker the de-mist.
Where does the moisture come from?
Moist air comes from various sources, wet things like; washing, tents and hair; breathing things like people and dogs; and condensing things like cold windows and your air conditioning system. Dealing with these situations calls for the appropriate use of the car’s interior temperature controls.
The age and specification of your will dictate which controls you have available to tackle misted windows. Most drivers are familiar with the heated rear window control, and how it works, however, dealing with de-misting in the front can be confusing. There are usually several dials, sliders or buttons associated with the control of; the temperature, the direction, and the speed, of the air flow. When used in combination they can either alleviate the problem of misted windows or create it!
Beware the Re-circulate air control!
