This high-tech visual aid is designed to make longer journeys a far more relaxing experience. As another vehicle enters your blind spot, the system alerts you with a discreet warning lamp built into the driver’s and passenger's door mirror. (Option)
Technical highlights
Enhanced with all the latest technology, the Galaxy has been specially designed to help make every journey safer, simpler and more engaging for drivers and their passengers.
Galaxy has a range of new technologies that perfectly suit you and your family’s practical needs – as well as satisfy your desire for some independence.
Ford FoldFlatSystem (FFS)
You could be a DIY enthusiast, or your daughter’s mountain bike could need picking up, or maybe you’ve been nominated as roadie for your son’s band. Whatever you and your family need to carry, Galaxy is flexible enough to cope. FFS means each rear seat folds down flush with the floor, plus the second-row seats can also slide and tilt. In total, there are an astonishing 32 possible seating combinations.
Ford Power starter button
You no longer need to insert the key into the ignition to start the car. You simply push the power button while holding the clutch down (or brake pedal on an automatic) and the engine fires into life. Also available with the Ford Key-Free System: the keyless entry system that lets you lock and unlock your car without taking your key out of your pocket or bag.
Cooled passenger glove box
By using air from the air conditioning system, the glove box is kept at a cool temperature.
Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
The easy-to-operate EPB is engaged and disengaged at the flick of a centre console-mounted switch. EPB replaces the conventional handbrake, freeing up space.
Audio systems
Galaxy has a range of audio options that add a new dimension to your in-car music experience. For example, you can choose the high-performance Sony audio system with a DAB digital radio. There’s also MP3 playback capability (with a Bluetooth® option), as well as an external AUX jack and a USB port for plugging in and controlling your MP3 player.
Sony Digital Audio System
Enjoy a powerful, in-car audio experience, incorporating crystal clear DAB radio reception. The screen on the digital audio system can also display information on the programme you’re listening to, such as the plot summary of a radio play.
USB interface and audio streaming
With Galaxy, you can use a USB connection to plug in your MP3 player and view your favourite tracks on the car’s dashboard display. To control the music, simply operate the HMI controls. Additionally, audio streaming enables you to transfer music and text from your Bluetooth®-enabled music player or mobile phone to the car’s audio system. (Standard on Sony DAB and on satellite navigation) Compatible with Bluetooth® Hands-Free and Voice Control System.
Ford Individual Rear Seat Entertainment System (DVD)
Ford Galaxy’s in-car entertainment features a built-in DVD player with two independently-operated 7" LCD screens, remote control and two wireless headphones. So even your most demanding passengers can enjoy their own personal space with movies and computer games. Includes Component AV inputs. (Option)
Touchscreen navigation PLUS system
Features a 7" touch-screen colour display, MP3 compatible, and eight premium speakers. Rear-view camera compatible. (Option)
LED tail lights
The new LED tail lights design is typical of the attention to detail to be found throughout Galaxy. This stylish design is also more energy efficient than previous versions, due to its use of the latest LED technology.
Emergency Brake Warning
The rear brake lights are activated and repeatedly flashed during heavy braking, giving following drivers advance warning of a potentially hazardous situation. (Standard)
Galaxy highlights
When you travel in Galaxy, your individual comfort is always assured. DEATC allows you to set the temperature separately to suit your individual preferences, whether sitting in the driver’s seat, or as a front-seat passenger – with as much as 4ºC variation between each zone. Rear-seat passengers also have a separate compressor that delivers extra cool air, if required.
