Issues with condensation

[Arconia]

I've had my MG ZS for about a year and I've noticed that there's quite the issue with condensation build-up on the windows. Particularly when it's cold outside and there's 3+ people in the car. I've turned the auto air setting to high and I still find myself quite often to have to specifically blow heat on the windscreen instead of leaving it on auto. Anyone else having issues with this? Not to mention the rear-passanger windows being completely fogged up as well.

Instead of auto air, set the air from outside and problem will disappear

We have a similar problem on our ZS. The fresh air option helps but doesn't stop it happening. Like Arconia we have to keep pressing the demist button.

There are some threads on this issue and quite a few suggestions on how to deal with it. A quick search should find them.

I also have these which help a bit. 2 in the front (either end of the dashboard) and one at the rear in the centre of parcel shelf.

Only thing that works is the demist button

We’ve recently found that directing the fan on the screen helps driving without needing to demist although the rest of the car is still misted.
I have also seen on the forums that Teslas are suffering too if that’s any consolation!

Clean all windows from inside. There is stuff evaporated on it from the artificial leather. Helped me a lot.

I believe driving in eco also nerfs the AC a bit so it takes longer to do all those tasks.

its a known problem and was happening in the previous model too! I've found that if I put the air on pointed at the screen and set the fan speed to 1 it doesn't fog up.

Non-recirc and air directed to the screen should be the default, but isn't. Back to HVAC school MG.

If you set it to that it should remain that way when you restart, at least that's what happens in my car.

Mine resets to auto when I pre heat
