I agree about opening the car before driving, assuming the outside air is less humid than inside the car.brent said:Openning the car to exhcange the air before driving, or even for the first few minutes, might be a big help. Using the recycle air
button is the worst possible thing to do.
The recycle/recirculate function might seem counterproductive if the cabin air is more humid than the outside air. On the other hand, the heater shouldn't have to work quite as hard if you're recycling warmer cabin air, and the AC should still work to eliminate moisture. In terms of overall energy usage, I would think you're best off with whichever approach involves running the heater the least. Maybe those who regularly deal with cold, damp air can comment further on their experience.
