Why does Volvo not have heated windscreens?
Heated front screen are quite effective in removing ice from the outer side of the screen and for removing condensation on the inside. If the windscreen is misted or frozen, however, there is a strong possibility that the side windows will be too. If we let the heated front screen do the work, will we drive off with the side windows unclear? Chances are we will. Volvo believes this to be a safety concern and by using the air conditioning unit, the vehicles temperature will have risen enough to clear the windows in a very short time.
