The present disclosure relates to a heat exchange system for thermally conditioning a vehicle, a vehicle comprising such a heat exchange system, a method for thermally conditioning a vehicle and a computer program element for thermally conditioning a vehicle. [0002] The heat exchange system comprises a cooling system, an ambient heat exchanger unit, a capacitive sensor unit and a control unit. The cooling system is thermally couplable with a drivetrain system and/or an energy storage system of the vehicle. The ambient heat exchanger unit is thermally coupled with the cooling system. The ambient heat exchanger unit is configured to transfer heat between ambient air and the cooling system. The capacitive sensor unit is arranged at the ambient heat exchanger unit and configured to monitor a capacitance change of a surface of the ambient heat exchanger unit exposed to the ambient air. The control unit is configured to adjust the heat transfer between the ambient air and the cooling system, in case the capacitance change of the exchanger unit exceeds a pre-defined threshold for some of the conditioning that exchanger unit.
