2018 XC60ii Misting Up
Anyone got any tips for stopping an XC60ii misting up while driving. I have never had a car quite like this one for misting up the windscreen and front windows when it is raining outside. Especially in temperatures around 10 deg c like this morning.
I have been through so many combinations of climate control settings I can’t have many left. Normally end up resorting to electric heated screen and max demist for a couple of minutes, turning it off because it is getting too warm, and repeating every 5 -10 minutes or so. Car interior is dry as far as I can tell, and certainly doesn’t mist up unduly when just left parked overnight. Appreciate any suggestions as to what I might have missed.

1. there is a setting in climate settings, that closes airflow from outside, check it.(maybe it was activated by mistake)
2. I would advise to replace cabin filter and check if thats helps. 3. If above didnt help, probably there is mailfunction of shutters that regulates airflow from outside, needs to be checked. |

Driving in eco mode reduces the climate control resulting in misting up, especially in wet weather, change to comfort mode to clear the windows.

Also have a look at the drain holes in the bottom of the front (and rear) doors. If they get bunged up with muck then the doors will fill up with a bit of rain water, which can cause the car to mist up. A quick jiggle and poke with a cocktail stick usually shifts any gunk and allows the water out.
