You can schedule single and recurring preconditioning timers in the centre display or via the mobile app for the car.  
Preconditioning automatically deactivates when the scheduled time is reached or you begin driving.  
You can also start preconditioning without scheduling a timer. This can be done in the centre display or via the app.  
For preconditioning to be available, the traction battery must be sufficiently charged. If preconditioning is started when your car  
is not connected for charging, the car's range will be affected.  
For preconditioning to be available, the car must have a sufficient amount of fuel in the fuel tank. If the fuel level in the car is too  
low, the heater will switch off.  
Note  
When preconditioning in a hot climate, condensation might drip under the car. This is normal.  
Keeping climate active while parked  
You can maintain a comfortable climate in the car while you are away from it by using the keep climate active function. You can  
activate the function via the centre display.  
Note  
Parking climate functions automatically turn off when their maximum running time is reached.  
Warning  
Never leave a child or pet unattended in your car. You are responsible for their safety and well-being. Some regions have  
laws prohibiting people or pets being left inside a locked vehicle.

4.2.7. Air quality  
Your car is designed to provide a pleasant and healthy interior climate. Air filtering helps to remove odours,  
substances and particles from the passenger compartment.  
Passenger compartment air filter  
The air going into the passenger compartment is first filtered through the climate control system. To ensure high performance,  
the filter needs to be replaced regularly. If the filter is exposed to intense use, such as prolonged driving through areas of smog  
or dust clouds, then the filter needs to be changed more frequently. If you are uncertain about what kind of filter to use, contact  
Volvo support.
