Preconditioning*

NOTE

Parking climate control is a generic term for

various functions that improve the passenger

compartment climate when the car is parked,

e.g. preconditioning.

Preconditioning is a climate function which, if

possible, attempts to reach comfort tempera-

ture in the passenger compartment before

departure.

It is not possible to activate the air condi-

tioning when the fan control is in Off posi-

tion.

Functions belonging to the parking

climate control are controlled from

the Parking climate in climate view

in the centre display. Open climate

view by pressing the symbol in the middle of

the climate row.

Preconditioning can use direct start or be set

via the timer.

The climate in the car's passenger compart-

ment can be maintained while the car is

parked, e.g. if the engine needs to be

switched off but the driver or passenger(s)

wants to remain in the car and maintain the

level of climate comfort.

Starting climate comfort retention is only pos-

sible via direct start from the centre display.

The function utilises several systems in differ-

ent cases:

Residual heat from the engine, in a cold

climate, heats the passenger compart-

ment to comfort temperature.

•

When it is warm, the ventilation cools the

passenger compartment by blowing in air

from outside the car.

•

NOTE

Climate comfort retention is switched off

when the car is locked from the outside to

avoid using residual heat unnecessarily.

Use of the function is intended to maintain

climate comfort when driver or passengers

remain inside the car.

There is a limit to how long climate com-

fort can be maintained in a cold climate,

which depends on the amount of residual

heat available.
