Abstract
An apparatus for avoiding windowpane misting in a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, by activating an anti-misting mode on the basis of measured values of the air humidity and air temperature in the interior of the vehicle and the outside temperature in the environment of the vehicle, a dew or frost point being determined from the measured values. The determination of the dew or frost point is based on variables which are the measured values of the air humidity and the air temperature plus their respective tolerances.
