• Ford S-MAX - Heater Fan Speed 13 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  The heater /aircon fan works fine when you set the temperature at 18 or above and regulates its speed according to the internal temperature required. However once set to 17 or 16 the fan runs at a constant 80-90% full speed. Not only is this very noisy but it means that it is not reacting to the temperature change in the car. Reverting to manual speed selection and it works at whatever setting you select.
