Some newer vehicles come with remote start features that allow you to defrost the windshield without even stepping outside.
Manual method: If your vehicle lacks a defrost function, start the heater and set it to blow air at the windshield while cracking the windows slightly to release moisture.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why didn’t I know about this button before?
A: Many drivers overlook this function, especially if it’s not clearly labeled or they’re used to manual defrosting.
Q: Does the defrost button use more fuel?
A: Slightly, as it uses the vehicle’s heating system, but the fuel cost is minimal compared to the time and effort saved.
Q: Can this damage my windshield?
A: No. It’s designed by the manufacturer to safely defrost and demist.
Q: What if the button doesn’t work?
A: Check your vehicle’s manual, and if needed, consult a mechanic—it could be a fuse, blower motor, or switch issue.
