CHECK YOUR CAR2025 Zeekr 7X · Europe English online manual · Long Range RWD reference

Checked against the official European English MY2025 7X online manual on 27 October 2026. China-market apps, hardware and OTA versions differ. Match your car’s display and equipment; the Chinese report supplies context, while the manufacturer manual supplies the procedure.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Press the temperature or fan symbol to open climate controls, then select Front windshield and windows defog/defrost. Check the glass itself before driving.

Chinese owner report: context, not a diagnosis

A forum report summarises windscreen fogging complaints and concerns about airflow. This is an individual report or discussion, not evidence of a widespread defect. The checks below concern the European export car; they do not establish what caused the Chinese owner’s symptom.

Before you start

If visibility becomes restricted on the road, stop in a safe place. Keep safety as the priority over an energy-saving climate preference.

Follow the export-car controls

1Open the climate controlsUse the temperature or fan symbol at the bottom of the centre display. Confirm the climate system is on.
2Select front demistingChoose the Front windshield and windows defog/defrost function. Distinguish it from the rear-window and mirror-heating control.
3Check the actual viewWait until the windscreen and relevant windows provide adequate visibility. Review Eco if reduced dehumidification conflicts with clearing the glass.

Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.

Check the result

A selected symbol does not prove that the glass is clear. If fog returns repeatedly or an airflow control appears faulty, arrange inspection. The Chinese discussion concerns alleged airflow problems; this standard demisting procedure does not repair a sticking air flap or establish a cause.

Common questions

Does the rear-window button clear the front windscreen?+

The manual provides separate front and rear defog/defrost functions. Select the front control for the windscreen.

Should I keep driving while waiting for it to clear?+

Drive only with adequate visibility. Find a safe place to stop if mist prevents a clear view.
