To quickly clear interior condensation from the glass using the manual climate control architecture of your Kia Sorento, execute the following straightforward sequence:

  1. Turn on the blower by selecting any fan speed level other than 0.
  2. Adjust the temperature control dial to your preferred comfort setting.
  3. Press either the Manual windshield defrost control button icon on the Kia Sorento center console or Alternative window defogging function icon on the Kia Sorento climate panel mode button.
