How do I turn on the defrost setting in my Toyota Corolla?

My sister recently moved to Seattle and I’m driving up from LA to visit her this Christmas. As I get further north, I’m having trouble keeping my windows clear with so much cold, wet weather. How can I activate the defrost setting in my Toyota Corolla SE?

Transitioning between driving in hot, dry weather to cold, wet weather can be quite a challenging adjustment. Lots of drivers tend to deal with foggy or frosty windows that limit visibility. But don’t worry, cars are built to handle this kind of change.
To activate the defrost or defog setting in your
Toyota Corolla SE
, follow these simple steps:
  1. Turn your car on and start the engine.
  2. On your AC controls, select the windshield icon. This will have three wavy arrows pointing upward.
  3. Then set the fan speed to its highest setting and select the rear defogger. This will look very similar to the windshield setting.
  4. Set the temperature to maximum heat and press the AC button.
As you drive with these settings, you should no longer experience fog or frost. But before you get back on the road, check out the
