Motorists can de-mist their windscreen and windows in seconds this autumn and winter using a simple dial located in every car.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Turning on the car heater may warm up the driver and passengers on cold mornings but it could also help clear screens by making some basic adjustments.<\/p>\n

Instead of blasting warm air towards the cockpit, motorists must adjust the vents to aim towards the windscreen and windows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I noticed this tip online and quickly went about giving it a go as temperatures dropped this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Entering my Alfa Romeo MiTo, I quickly found the heater and dialed it up halfway, pointing the vent closest to me towards my mist-covered window.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After around 30 seconds I ramped up the temperature to max with warm air blasting directly onto the glass. Moments later, the steam began to evaporate and I could soon see clearly out of my windows.<\/p>\n

I then quickly flicked my heating settings to clear my windscreen and moments later my car was completely clear. Last month, experts at the Swansway Motor Group also raised awareness of this simple hack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sam, a spokesperson for the car dealership group, posted a clip on YouTube revealing the method to unaware motorists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cNext up is the air vents, now this is a really important feature. You\u2019ve got a set just below the windscreen, you can let them do their thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
