Defrost.

well, no offense to some of you guys, though racer is right on, it actually talks about some of this in the manual :P

it says in there that if you are having a problem with it fogging set your air to outside air, and then turn it so it is blowing on the front windshield. Believe me, i have done this over and over, and it will take a couple seconds.

Remember, outside air on the front windshield is magic, do both for fastest results, and i usually set my temp right in the middle...but i dont know if that matters

Also, as to defrosting, i dont know what to say, but if i use my spray it works incredibly fast as well. Not too much freezing down here though, so i havent had to deal with that alot. But i say use the spray alot, front and back ifyou have it, works great.

what spray??? sorry for being such a noob, yall. I don't really have to deal with this too often -- i do live in arkansas where it mostly is humid and hardly cold. but thanks for yalls help.

and with the scraping thing - im not being lazy, i just dont have anything to scrape it with. once again, i live in arkansas and every few days or so it will be a little chilly. nothing serious like up north where you buy scrapes and sprays as an investment, lol...

You should find that trying to defog on recirculate is almost impossible. Unless you have A.C., then you can't even select recirculate if you are in defrost mode. Yes newer cars are set up to have the A.C. kick in when set to defrost. The A.C. evaporator removes humidity from the cabin which helps defog quickly. If you don't have A.C. and you are set to recirculate, the same moist air keeps churning around. It will get warmer quicker, but the air is still moist.

Yeah, those $2 "investments" are a real hardship, ain't they?

well, like i said i dont know much about ice as i dont get much of it.but if you pull in on the windshield wipers it sprays right? and that spray has anti-freeze in it and will help melt the ice on your windshield i believe. Also, if you do scrape, BE CAREFUL, my family never invested in a scraper...and i was scraping my moms window with a library card--it scratched the front windshield...a real big cut actually. so i say if its even a bit of a problem, get one and put it in the cubbies in the back underpanel area or something (cover it in a cloth though so it wont make noise) use the recirculate on the defrost fan mode, scrape a little, and use your sprayer, should make things go alot faster.
