Maximum heat output, which is needed to defrost the windows as quickly as possible, is only available when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
Keep the air intake slots in front of the windscreen free of snow, ice and leaves to ensure heating and cooling is not impaired, and to prevent the windows from misting over.
