I’m afraid this condensation issue might be yet another ‘characteristic’ ! This time of skodas generally rather than just the Karoq. I suspect a lot of us suffer from it at this time of year. My Karoq windscreen (and driver and passenger door windows) has started being very misted up in the mornings now. But not as bad as yours. If it’s actually running down the windscreen that’s a lot of damp and may indicate a separate issue. I carry a wet dog and a wet jacket and I can keep it clear (after the initial morning wipe down with an old towel) by running the ac which I have running all the time. My Octavia used to do it too at this time of year and I seem to remember the octavia forum used to have a ‘my windscreen is full of condensation today’ thread. A bit like the first cuckoo of spring.

Thanks Xman for a helpful and detailed explanation! Now I do understand it. ( had to read it three times though😀) Appreciate your help.

I’ve noticed that it depends on what you have selected on the display screen between the dials. If you just have the MPH in numerals for example you just get the ‘eco mode’ indication. If you have selected constant fuel usage you actually get the words ‘2 cylinder mode’ on the display. But here’s something I’m probably too thick to understand. I can be cruising along at 40 in a 40 limit in 4th gear and I get the ‘2 cylinder mode’ display.great fuel efficiency- excellent! But... the wee indicator at the top left is telling me to change from 4th to 5th and I can understand that because surely the highest possible gear is best for the car and fuel efficiency? But.... as soon as I change out of 4 th gear to 5th the ‘2 cylinder mode’ goes off, not just for a second but for quite a long while , maybe miles ‘till I’m settled in sixth. So it’s more efficient in 4th than 6 th at a constant speed cruise. Am I being stupid or is this odd?
