Eliminate extreme fogging of windshields of cars

 

How to eliminate extreme fogging of windshields of cars during 'summers': 
During summer months, when the hot air from outside meets the cooled surface of the glass windows and windshield of the car, it immediately condenses and creates a layer of fog which forms on the outside of the windshield. 
Keep the car AC temperature at 4 - 5°C below the outside temperature which the car display shows. This ensures that the interior temperature does not become too cold vis-a-vis the outside temperature. 
If the temperature outside is 33°C, run the car AC at 28 or 29°C. Roadies will not face the issue of extreme fogging of the windshield leading to poor or even zero visibility. 
Rear windshield heater (defogger) takes care of the rear windshield. 
If you run the AC at 22 or 23°C while the outside temperature is 33 - 35°C, the windshield will become too cold and all the humidity will condense on the outer surface of the glass leading to almost zero visibility. 
If the atmospheric humidity is too high, as in Kolkata or Mumbai, then condensation on windshield is higher, too. 
Indian Roadie members and followers can also open a side window a bit to allow the outside air into the car. This will not only balance the temperatures quicker, but it will also allow them to keep themselves cool and enjoy the drive. 
Fogging in summer is on the outside. One can easily get rid of it by simply turning on the car windshield wipers. During condensation, water forms on the surface of the windshield and wipers are designed to get rid of water. 
Moreover, running the AC with recirculation OFF at times will allow the outside air to enter the cabin and balance the temperature.

How to eliminate extreme fogging of windshields of cars during 'winters': 
Condensation during winter months occur inside the car. Cold air of the atmosphere meets the warm air of the car interior and causes the windshield to fog up from the inside. Winter fogging is  somewhat difficult to remove. 
There's a “Fresh Air Mode” button located on the dashboard console. The button has a car with an arrow that points into the car. Once turned on, this feature pulls in fresh air from outside but does not drastically lower the temperature inside the car. The temperature is gradually balanced and the fog on the windshield will disappear. 
Ensure that the “Recirculation Mode” is turned off. It is the button with a car and a circular arrow inside it. This function recirculates the air inside the vehicle by closing the air ducts in front. 
During winters, it may not be practical to switch on the car AC and reduce the temperature to almost match the temperature outside. The fan can be switched on to somewhat lower the temperature insinside.
