The air inside your vehicle is dripping wet by comparison because of wet floor mats, breathing, etc. If you recycle the inside air, you have a steam bath condensing on the cold windows. Turn off the recirculator and pump dry, heated air into the cabin to clear the windows. When it's really cold, the AC compressor won't run until it's nice and warm under your hood anyhow, but using the AC is better suited for Malaysia, where it's HOT and humid, not cold outside and humid inside. If I'd have had an owner's manual for my old Volvo, maybe I would have figured out the part about the RECIRC button a few winters sooner . . :-( ++++ Most of the original Hyundai cars had a BAD condensation problem too +++ 'Curly' =============== |

Re: Windows fogging up
You should be running your AC in the winter anyway just to keep the seals pliable. Don't worry about the little bit of extra gasoline you're using.

Re: Windows fogging up
Do your vehicles have a manual recirc mode? If so perhaps
you are operating in recirc mode, when you should be on outside air. mike hunt Brian Doennebrink wrote: > > I have 2 Hondas with the same problem (an Odyssey and a Civic): the windows > regularly fog up in the fall/winter.
