If you do not have one, check the dealer or ebay. The owners's manual and a Bentley repair manual are essential to ownership :-)

my windshield fogs up with defrost in the rain, I have to run the AC to clear it.

Yeah, that took me a second to figure out when I first got the car. I guess its because the picture is in German.

Hi regal, Yeah the windshield will initially fog up with heat selected. Should you HOWEVER keep the heat setting on and NOT use the A/C, Then as soon as the glss/Windshield reaches a threshold temperature, it starts to clear. Obvviously the greater the temp difference between outer air and inner cabin air, the greater the fog time. It def does work applying hot air, just that it takes a short time longer as you are warming the glass and not keeping it at a temp either = or lower thann outside temp.

Most cars will automatically turn on the a/c system when defrost is selected. In addition to providing cool air on hot days, the a/c system also pulls humidity out of the air. Besides - its good to cycle your a/c a couple of times a month, keeps the seals in good shape.
