Is it set to auto On the fanHi, so mine was misting up also when not set to outside air but anytime I use the a then it switches back to inside air not the outside? I have to go back and re select outside air each time? Very annoying
The MG4 Trophy ER is my second and they both do the same thing, no air flow unless the fan is running. It fogs up a bit but a quick blast with the demist switch clears it very quickly. I have to say that I worry less about the GOM dropping 10 or so miles, in this weather I leave it on auto with A/C on and the misting doesn't occur.My new (fabulous!) MG4 Trophy keeps fogging up! The recirculation setting is set
to outside air but unless the fan is on no air appears to be coming in. Is it always necessary to have fan on (?battery drain?) Or shouldn't the forward motion of the car let air in? Any thoughts anyone? Many thanks!
What's auto fan speed? Doesn't auto refer to AC climactic control?My approach is to use auto fan speed , recirculation set to outside , screen vents always open . Only use AC when I need it and temp set to 23 - 24 , Misting only occurs when raining or damp weather and a quick blast on the demist button sorts this out quickly. Works for me .?
There are 2 auto settings. One for AC which I don't use and also auto fan speed which varies the fan speed depending how far away you are from the temperature you have set . It can start fast then slows down once the desired temp is reached . Works for me.What's auto fan speed? Doesn't auto refer to AC climactic control?

The purpose of the A/C is to dehumidify the air. If you switch off A/C then you are relying on heating up the windscreen enough to keep it from misting up but it’s a forever fighting battle.I'm finding that I usually need to have the fan on set to the windscreen with no air recycling, i.e. fresh air coming in, in order to keep the windscreen clear of mist. AC is off, ECO mode active (I drive in ECO mode). There is a fan auto symbol on. I'm not yet sure if the heater is operative. I assume it is. So if I set the temp to 22 degree then it's heating incoming air (assuming colder outside). If warmer outside then I assume no heating is taking place, and no cooling because AC is off.
It seems to remember these settings after using the demister for a minute or two when needed.
The air blowing up the windscreen keeps it clear most of the time without having the compressor on.The purpose of the A/C is to dehumidify the air. If you switch off A/C then you are relying on heating up the windscreen enough to keep it from misting up but it’s a forever fighting battle.
