406 Misting problem

When the outside temperature drops to 5 degrees the windows start to mist up
and as the temperature drops it gets worse. The aircon gets plenty cold when
asked, drips water when parked after a run and is always set to Auto.

Tha car doesn't smell damp and the carpets aren't wet.

Any suggestions.

set on auto, temp as desire (22c maybe?) A/C and not ECCO
dont close vent (recycle button). hope that will help

 

Come on guys you can do better than that,

I used to experience this in my 406, its nothing to do with your climate
settings as such, its to do with the ambient air temperature in the car and
then outside air temperature.....

Its like having a cold bottle of water on a sunny day, condensation appears
on the bottle and then you start to see water running ! just make sure all
vents are open and that you have your vents set to face and feet.....

Forget about the screen the air temp out side during movement causes
friction and therefore warms the screen which in turn keeps it clear. Let me
guess it starts misting when pottering around, low speeds and the fans are
on inside the car ?

 

actually the air con when used in winter de mists the windows. just set the
temp to full heat and recycle off.

 

The demisting only works when the outside temperature is above 3-5 degrees C

 

well i was informed that although the cooler part of the air con shuts off
below 6c to prevent freezing the evaporator unit?? stays on and so supplies
dry warm air to demist the windows quicker
