Ok, another newbie question

Everytime I turn on Front Defog, It'll blast heat out...even if I have climate control to 60 degree. What am I gonna do during the summer when I need front defog...LOL!

When the defroster is on it blows max fan speed at max temp. Make sure your A/C is on. Or just run the defroster for a few seconds till it clears.

When will you ever need to defog in the summer?

well i've posted this before, but i'll post it again...

just turn the A/C position knob (the right most knob) to the "up" position. this blows the air out of the top vents (same as the defrost button) but with the same power as what you already have it set to.

On moderately humid days i found that this car fogs up really easy and quick with the windows up and the A/C off, especially rainy nights.

:v Hey Capt, I bet your car fogs up in the summer time in a linear progression depending on how hot your female passengers are.

A comment from someone who has obviously spent little time driving in the northeast!

I thought there was no way to control the temp of the defroster either, but just turn the fan speed dial to take it out of Auto, into manual, and it adjusts the temperature according to your setting. So simple, yet so non-intuitive!

That, or you can switch the vent setting as someone else suggested.

Cheers.

In Florida in the summer with the A/C on you get condensation on the inside of the windscreen.
