imranalime Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hi, I've always had a toyota and they've been usually quite good at heating the car up quickly. I've got a new S-max and it just takes a fair bit longer. in the mornings i'd say 10 minutes driving before its sufficiently warm and if i turn the temp up high - its still not that hot. last night driving from Accrington to Manchester by the time i drove down to the m60 only then my feet were getting warm. is this normal for s-max's or is this something that is abnormal or can be improved??

gregers Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 mine can take about the same to warm up properly,but once warm gets nice and toasty. only trouble is at this time of year getting stuck in a traffic jam the temp gauge does tend to drop.

stef123 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Presumably a Diesel engine? You will find that putting the heater onto recirculate will make it heat up quicker and won't drop as much when turned up high when driving at low speed.
