outside temperature is slightly above the

freezing point. Therefore, condensation

When the vehicle is plugged in, battery

charging takes precedence over pre-

conditioning.

Consequently, it can only be activated if

the battery is charged above a threshold

fixed at 80%.

If a recurrent heating / ventilation is

programmed and two heating / ventilation

procedures are carried out without

operating the vehicle, the programming is

deactivated.

Setting timer

Note

Several timers can be programmed and

saved. It is recommended to programme

temperature preconditioning with the

vehicle plugged in, in order to optimise

the long-term perfomance of the high

voltage battery.

● Set temperature control to coldest

level.

Air Vents

● Set fan speed to highest level.

● Open all vents.

Adjustable Air Vents

At least two air vents must be open while

cooling is on.

Temperature preconditioning (for

BEV)

The temperature preconditioning allows

to heat or to ventilate the vehicle's interior

with ambient air.

The temperature preconditioning can be

programmed via the Info Display or the

MyVauxhall App.

The operating status of the temperature

preconditioning is shown by a LED.

Warning

Do not attach any objects to the slats of

the air vents. Risk of damage and injury

in case of an accident.

Air vents on the instrument panel

● LED illuminates: A timer has been set.

● LED flashes: The system is operating.

The heating / ventilation procedure

starts approx. 45 minutes before the

programmed time when the vehicle is

plugged in, or 20 minutes before the

programmed time when it is not plugged

in, and is maintained ten minutes after it.

The LED is extinguished at the end of

the operation or when the temperature

preconditioning is stopped using the

remote control.

The temperature preconditioning can be

programmed by using the Info Display.

Note

The temperature preconditioning is only

activated if the ignition is off and the

vehicle is locked.

If the charging level of the high voltage

battery is below 30%, the temperature

preconditioning is not activated.

Auxiliary Heater

Quickheat is an electric auxiliary air

heater that automatically warms up the

passenger compartment more quickly.

Direct the flow of air by tilting and

swivelling the slats.

To close the vent, swivel the slats

inwards.

Maintenance

For optimal cooling performance, it is

recommended to annually check the

climate control system, starting three

years after initial vehicle registration,

including:

Air Intake

● functionality and pressure test

● heating functionality

● leakage check

● check of drive belts

● cleaning of condenser and evaporator

Direct the flow of air by tilting and

swivelling the slats.

drainage

● performance check

To close the vent, swivel the slats

outwards.

The air intake in front of the windscreen

in the engine compartment must be kept

clear to allow air intake. Remove any

leaves, dirt or snow.

Fixed Air Vents

Additional air vents are located beneath

the windscreen and door windows in the

foot wells.

Air Conditioning Regular

Operation

In order to ensure continuously efficient

performance, cooling must be operated

for a few minutes once a month,

irrespective of the weather and time

of year. Operation with cooling is not

possible when the outside temperature is

too low.
