"Immediate pre-entry climate control" is auto-
matically switched off when operational readi-
ness mode is requested.
Setting the departure time
You can set a departure time for the "Pre-entry
climate control at departure time". Your vehicle
will then be cooled or heated until the desired
temperature is reached in time for the set depar-
ture time. "Pre-entry climate control at depar-
ture time" will be activated a maximum of
35 minutes before departure. If the departure is
delayed, the vehicle will be heated or cooled for
a further five minutes.
You can set the desired departure time in the E-E-
CELL
CELL submenu on the on-board computer
(Y page 163).
Activating immediate pre-entry climate
control
You can activate "Immediate pre-entry climate
control" even if the vehicle interior is already at
the desired temperature. This means that the
vehicle interior continues to be cooled or
heated, e.g. if the journey is interrupted for up to
50 minutes, and the interior temperature is kept
constant. You can only set the desired temper-
ature using the climate control unit. If you do not
pre-select a temperature, the last temperature
set will be automatically adopted.
