Knob on the right push in the top button, knob in the centre rotate to give air both top and bottom,
Fan speed to max then adjust as necessary, Knob to the left to fully cold,
Don’t forget you should use your aircon all year round, you can use it with heat as a dehumidifier ,

Brilliant thanks, just going to get re gassed or what ever they do

Once you start using it as a dehumidifier the evaporator gets wet (naturally) then when you stop, the evaporator warms up and the windscreen is once again the coldest bit in the vehicle, and steams up with a vengeance

Use the heater to evaporate the moisture and it will go out of the vehicle via the stale air vents

That doesn't tend to work here & it certainly never worked for me in the Uk late last year. I tried to not use the a/c & use the heating but it just became exceedingly dangerous as the screen would mist & run with water within seconds. Even using the a/c you couldn't drive off straight away as it just couldn't sope with the amount of moisture. I wasn't able to stop using the a/c to keep screen clear in the mornings until I got down to the Pyrennee's last December.

The most likely reason is the heater was left on recirculated air, that gives maximum cooling and stops fumes from outside coming into the cabin but unfortunately the moisture has no where to go,
Only use it for a very limited time and any moisture build up will escape via the vents,
