Climate Control
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Outside air
Keep the air intakes forward of the windshield free from obstruction (snow, leaves etc.) to allow the climate control system to function effectively.
Recirculated air
CAUTION
Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to mist up. If the windows mist up, follow the settings for defrosting and demisting the windshield.
The air currently in the passenger compartment will be recirculated. Outside air will not enter the vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on the temperature of the engine coolant.
Air conditioning
Note: The air conditioning operates only when the temperature is above 4°C (39°F).
Note: If you use the air conditioning, the fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher.
Air is directed through the evaporator where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted from the air to help keep the windows free of mist. The resulting condensation is directed to the outside of the vehicle and it is therefore normal if you see a small pool of water under your vehicle.
General information on controlling the interior climate
Fully close all the windows.
Warming the interior
Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or humid weather conditions, direct some of the air towards the windshield and the door windows.

AUXILIARY HEATER
Parking heater
WARNING
The parking heater must not be operated at filling stations, near sources of combustible vapors or dust or in enclosed spaces.
120
Galaxy/S-MAX (CA1) Vehicles Built From: 25-11-2013, Vehicles Built Up To: 18-12-2014, CG3533en enGBR, Edition date: 11/2013, Second Printing
Climate Control
The parking heater operates independently of the vehicle heater by heating the engine’s coolant circuit. It is fed from the vehicle fuel tank. You can also use it while the vehicle is in motion to help the vehicle heater warm up the interior more quickly.
Used properly, the parking heater provides the following benefits:
• It preheats the interior of the vehicle.
• It keeps the windows clear of ice in the event of frost and prevents condensation.
• It avoids cold starts and allows the engine to reach operating temperature sooner.
Note: The parking heater will only operate if there is at least 7.5 liters (1.6 gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank and the ambient temperature is below 15°C (59°F). The heater will not operate if the battery is low.
Note: The heating depends on the outside air temperature.
Note: When the parking heater is activated, exhaust fumes may come from under the sides of the vehicle. This is normal.
Note: On vehicles with a manual heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, the heating of the vehicle interior is dependent on the temperature, air distribution and blower control settings.
To prevent the battery from discharging:
• Once the parking heater has performed one heating cycle, the next programmed heating cycle will only be carried out if you have started the vehicle’s engine in between.
• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle for at least the period of the heating cycle.
Program the parking heater
Note: The programmed time is the time at which you wish the vehicle to be warm and ready to drive, not the time at which the heater switches on.
Note: You must program the times at least
70 minutes in advance of the time you wish to set.
Note: You must set the time and date
correctly. See Clock (page 137).
