Fatal! Rainy Season, Don't Always Use the Defogger Feature
Every car marketed to tropical countries that often experience rain and cold weather is usually equipped with the standard feature defogger or anti-fog on the rear glass. One example that already uses the defogger feature is the Daihatsu Sirion.
Its function is to maintain the driver's visibility of what is happening behind the vehicle. In other words, the car's defogger can reduce or eliminate fog on the rear glass.
Understanding What Defogger Is
So what does it look like? Let's get to know more about defogger or anti-fog.
Well, it looks like thin horizontal lines running across from both sides of the glass, from top to bottom. These lines are actually thin wires, functioning as a heat condenser, so that the glass temperature is maintained and fog does not form due to the temperature difference between the cabin and outside.
Oh yes, this feature is only available on the rear glass, as it is considered to disrupt driving flexibility if located on the front glass. Using it is also easy, just press the button with three curved arrows on the dashboard.
The presence of the defogger is considered beneficial during the rainy season like now. However, you need to remember that the defogger is not recommended for continuous use, my friend. It turns out that for cars that are not equipped with an automatic shut-off current, the driver must press the button again to turn off the defogger function.
