French term

Fogging-Embuage

French to English Other Automotive / Cars & Trucks technical specification
Embuage was hard to find – even with a Google search – but I did come up with “steaming”, which seems to me to mean the same thing as fogging, in the context of a car…or does it actually something different? It is used as the title of one subsection (Fogging-Embuage), and also there is not much in that subsection, but it does talk about a “indice d’embuage” and the value it should have. I just want to confirm that these two terms are actually synonymous, or if they are not, then what is “embuage”? Thanks.

OK, got it - thanks. Since the original (French) reads "Fogging-Embuage", I wil use "Fogging-Misting" in the English translation. Thanks again.
Non-ProZ.com Mar 30, 2005:
A-ha - so the two terms are synonymous then. Thanks. I do like 'misting' besides, I might use that one. Thanks again.

Regarding Gad\'s (the asker) comment.

Fogging and misting are *not* synonymous...
But in your context, either one is OK.

Just clarifying that point because the ProZ glossary is filled with oversimplification errors and erroneous skeleton-key terms.

demisting

...and make sure the ventilation system works and is able to demist the windows. Familiarise yourself with the controls so you know the most effective way of demisting and de-icing your car.
