A ‘magic’ button defrosts a car’s windshield in seconds – and some drivers had no idea

Winter mornings are often dreaded by motorists. Who has never cursed a frozen windshield, a scraper in hand, freezing fingers, and a ticking watch? However, a simple and quick solution is often right under our noses, without us really knowing it.

The magic button: where is it hiding?

Most modern cars are equipped with a front demister button, designed to quickly defrost the windshield. This button activates a blower combining hot air and air conditioning, effectively eliminating frost.
