Climate Control; Principle Of Operation; Air Vents - Ford Galaxy Owner's Handbook Manual

PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
Outside air
Keep the air intakes forward of the
windscreen 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 windscreen.
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
4ºC (39ºF).
Note: If you use the air conditioning,
the fuel consumption of your vehicle
will be higher.

Climate control

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
windscreen and the door windows.
Cooling the interior
Direct the air towards your face.
