When cold air hits the windshield, the outside of the
windshield may fog up.

If the side windows fog up, adjust the vents so that
the air hits the side windows.

After defrosting the windows, switch over to fresh air
mode. If you keep the system in recirculation mode,
the windows may fog up from humidity. This
