Ford S-MAX’s exquisitely detailed interior is evidence of our unrelenting commitment to quality. Ford has engineered every single component for dependability, safety and strength. Choose from new trims, Individual personalisation options, and premium Windsor leather.

This intuitive digital command centre helps you stay in complete control of many of the car’s systems. Featuring a standard, enhanced or Ford Convers+ cluster display, the HMI is operated by two steering wheel-mounted toggles for audio and vehicle settings. With the left toggle you can find and change radio stations or CD tracks, as well as set the volume. The right toggle switch controls the cluster display for vehicle settings and the trip computer. On the Ford Convers+ cluster display, the right toggle lets you scroll through MultiMedia lists, controlling the phone, radio, and CD player. An optional USB/MP3/iPod® connectivity port is also available.

The crown jewel in the centre console, this system is the ultimate in navigation, connectivity and touch-screen convenience and clarity. Being an integrated system, it responds to real-time road speed and the latest traffic conditions to deliver more accurate estimated arrival times and trip information.

With ACC you can automatically keep your chosen distance from the car in front. Should the car in front slow down and reduce the gap, your speed drops, too. And when traffic speeds up, you automatically return to cruising speed. Meanwhile, FA monitors your distance to the vehicle in front and if you drive too close, a warning noise and flashing light activate.

This new driver assistance system is included as part of cruise control. ASLD is designed to help drivers avoid exceeding driver-selected speeds unintentionally – for example, staying within legal speed limits during long road trips. By using enhanced cruise control switches on the steering wheel, you can adjust your top speed limit, active from 19mph. Should you try to exceed that range, the engine management system intervenes to maintain your set speed limit.

What if you feel the cold, but your passenger doesn’t? You and your front passenger can set the temperature with up to 4°C variation between you. (Standard on Zetec Titanium and Titanium X Sport)

With S-MAX, an AUX jack is available as standard, so you can plug in your MP3 player and operate it yourself. You can also use the USB connection to plug in your MP3 player. To control the music, just operate the remote audio controls, or issue voice commands using Bluetooth® with Voice Control technology.

This windscreen has been specially designed so that it blocks more of the sun’s heat than standard glass. This means the interior has less heat build up on warm days, which provides a more comfortable driving environment for you.

Individual seat comfort, controlled by the occupant, that improves driving comfort, particularly on longer distances. With a choice of five heating and ventilation levels, the seats feature built-in heating elements to provide the desired temperature while the perforated seat trim and fans inside the seats allow cool air from within the car to circulate between the seats and their occupants.

This automatically detects the glare from the headlights of following vehicles, and reduces the brightness. It prevents you from being distracted or dazzled, which makes night-time driving easier and safer.

What if you feel the cold, but your passenger doesn’t? You and your front passenger can set the temperature with up to 4°C variation between you. (Standard on Zetec Titanium and Titanium X Sport)

At the touch of a button, heating elements within the windscreen activate immediately to quickly and conveniently clear it of ice and mist.

Electrically-operated and heated door mirrors are rapidly cleared of ice, snow and mist, improving your all-round visibility. Available with memory function and/or fold function.

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.

New to S-MAX, the Ford Key-Free System is a keyless entry system that lets you lock and unlock your car, without taking your key out of your pocket or bag. Sensors around the car detect the presence of the ‘passive key’ and activate the locking mechanism accordingly.
