The system works in seconds, even if it\u2019s below zero outside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The manufacturer added: \u201cThe location of the button depends on which vehicle model you have. Please download a copy of your Owner&#8217;s Manual for full details.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ford is recognised for creating the first heated windscreen when they first introduced the technology in the late 1990s.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The popular Ford Mondeo was the first vehicle to feature the Quickclear technology which has since been adopted across the lineup.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The tool is now available in almost all Ford vehicles and is a just-use tool as temperatures fall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, Ford has since lost the patent for their heated windscreen technology with many manufacturers now copying the feature.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Heated windscreens can now be found on vehicles produced by big brands such as Land Rover, Skoda, Nissan, Volkswagen and Vauxhall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Aston Martin, Jaguar, SEAT and Mini vehicles also feature the tool on some of their models.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/life-style\/cars\/1827889\/ford-heated-car-windscreen-frost-deice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ford owners can de-ice their car windscreens in just 60 seconds by pressing a common button this autumn and winter,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243408,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
