<\/p>\nA man has opened up about a little-known car function that can defog your car “quickly and effectively” without the need to use a cloth or tissue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The TikToker, who goes by the name Precise Auto, said: “When there is fog on your car windshield, do not wipe it with a cloth or tissue.<\/p>\n
“Not only is it ineffective but it also affects the driving safety.”<\/p>\n
He went on to explain that all cars have an “automatic windshield defogging function”.<\/p>\n
The TikToker explained the process, saying “you need to find the air intake mode on the car’s air conditioning console”.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then he said to turn the function on.<\/p>\n
Recirculation mode could be switched on, which means air is moved throughout the car but he advised switching this off.<\/p>\n
After turning the recirculation mode off, he said to turn on external air intake.<\/p>\n
The TikToker then said the next step is turn the windshield defrost button on.<\/p>\n
