Low setting defroster for duration of commute?

[FlipStyle1308]

I was driving home from work on a rainy night and turned on the front defroster. The defroster would turn on at full blast and make the inside of the car really warm, so I turned it off. A few minutes later the windshield would fog up again and I'd have to turn the defroster on, then off since it would get really warm inside, and the whole cycle repeated. I tried playing with the temperature/vent/AC settings but could not find one that would leave the defroster on low so I can leave it on throughout my commute. Am I missing something or can anyone help me find an optimal way to use the defroster for an extended period of time? Thanks.

Go to the HVAC screen. Turn off "Auto" and "AC" and select uppermost seat icon with the up arrow. Turn off any other seat icon that may be on. Select fan speed and temperature sufficient for the purpose. Sometimes the AC may need to be turned back on if humidity inside car gets high.

Thanks! I guess I just needed to turn this setting on higher/hotter.

I too have been fogging up. Usually I would push the front defrost button passing blue to red and it would blow hard. This was only tempory and would fog up again. Today I tried the button but on blue, it worked better and wasnt so loud.

Thanks for the help...

With Chicago’s freezing rain/snow today, I really needed this

It must be me I still do not get how do you turn on the defrost read and low. I can't stand it when it's on high speed it's too loud.
