Note
The Phaeton is equipped with an automatic function to detect window misting which, on the basis of the air conditioning maintaining the same temperature, ensures that the windscreen and side windows never frost or mist up.
The automatic window misting detection is only insufficient under very poor weather and temperature conditions, meaning the manual defroster function should be used.
Activating this function blows the maximum amount of warm air on the windscreen and front windows. This is the fastest way to clear the glass of frost or fog.
