Look for this button as part of your air conditioning controls. Check around door and window seals and for patches of rust that might have pin-prick size holes. If you have a persistent problem with condensation it’s likely that your vehicle has a leak somewhere and is therefore damp. It’s different from the front demister in two ways: firstly the button graphic is a different shape, and secondly the rear demister doesn’t have vents like the front, instead using wires embedded in the glass to generate heat to evaporate the condensation. If fogging is a problem on your rear window you can turn on the rear demister. Some rear headrests fold forward as an option. You can, however, remove them in the rear if you are not carrying passengers and, on some cars, this slightly improves rear visibility. This also allows you to take the headrests out, which we wouldn’t recommend when driving because they provide whiplash protection. Headrests can be adjusted easily – simply look for the little button on the collar of one of the metal stalks that fit into the seat. This button is often hidden down near your right knee, or it could be as a separate collar on the headlights wand/stalk. If you want to know just how little you can see in even very light fog, check out this image – yes, there is a car in the middle of it with its lights on if you look closely, and this fog wasn’t even that thick. When it’s not foggy remember to switch off your fog lights because they will dazzle other drivers.

They are about as bright as brake lights and therefore can be seen much more easily.įog lights on the front are mounted low in the bumper and produce a wide, flat beam that doesn’t reflect back off the fog like full beam headlights do. On the back of a car will be one or two fog lights. However, thick fog can reduce your visibility to just a few metres.
Fog is technically when visibility is reduced to less than 1km by mist and low-lying cloud.
