Hello CaldwellMy car's AC always blows air to my feet when I set it to automatic. I want it to blow to my feet and windshield. Can I change that? Also, does the automatic setting help prevent fogging?
As already answered regarding the Mode (same for all years) and yes the A/C will demist the screen but remember once switched off it just dumps the moisture back again - oh, and the PHEV seems to suffer from excess internal condensation anyway, although I've never worked out why!My car's AC always blows air to my feet when I set it to automatic.

It doesn't dump all of the moisture back to the windscreen, only that left condensed on the evaporator. Much more will have been condensed and drained away.As already answered regarding the Mode (same for all years) and yes the A/C will demist the screen but remember once switched off it just dumps the moisture back again - oh, and the PHEV seems to suffer from excess internal condensation anyway, although I've never worked out why!
Actually that is not the recommended method of getting rid of inside condensation, which is normally due to passengers breathing it out. You need to have the recirculation off and draw in drier outside air as a replacement - especially in Winter. The only time you would use the above method is in warm humid conditions, which is not normally a problem in the UK.It doesn't dump all of the moisture back to the windscreen, only that left condensed on the evaporator.

The trick is to use recirc so that all mpistyure gets removed from the cabin air, rather than try to continually dry outside air that is saturated. And when you stop, switch the mode to feet to close the path of the moist air away from the windscreen.
