Heating and air conditioning system -> Stationary air-conditioning for Your Volkswagen E Golf 4 Door Second Generation (2017-2020)

Stationary air-conditioning  
Introduction to the topic  
With the stationary air-conditioning, the vehicle interior can be cooled, ventilated or heated  
when stationary. In winter, operation of the system allows ice, condensation and a thin  
covering of snow to be cleared from the windscreen. The stationary air-conditioning is  
supplied via the high-voltage battery of the vehicle, or via the mains socket.  
The stationary air conditioning system can be programmed and managed in the e-Manager in the  
Infotainment system (→ emanager, Description) or via an app on your mobile telephone.  
When the ignition is switched off, the stationary air conditioning system can be switched on or  
off manually using the app on your mobile telephone. Information on the app, the requirements  
for its use and availability as well as compatible end devices is available on the internet (→ Car-  
Net, Description).  
NOTICE  
Do not place any food, medicine or any other temperature-sensitive items in front of the vents.  
Food, medicine and other items that are sensitive to heat or cold could be either damaged or  
rendered useless by the air flowing out of the vents.  
Operating the stationary air-conditioning when the charge cable is not connected places  
a load on the high-voltage battery. At extreme temperatures, the heating or cooling  
output of the stationary air conditioning can be insufficient in order to achieve the set  
temperature.

Switching off the stationary air conditioning  
Press the button  
in the air conditioning block.  
The stationary air conditioning switches off automatically  
After the programmed operating duration has elapsed (→ Stationary air conditioning, Setting).  
If the charge level of the high-voltage battery is too low (→ High-voltage battery,  
Description).  
Operation when charging connector is not connected  
If the stationary air conditioning system is used without the charging connector being  
connected, you must enable the option that allows climate control without external power  
supply in the

conditioning, Setting). This setting is stored in the vehicle.  
Programmed stationary air conditioning is not started unless the option for climate control  
without connected charging connector is activated. If you manually start the system with the  
“Air conditioning” application, an error message will appear because the charging connector is  
not connected.  
When the charging connector is not inserted, the stationary air conditioning will be supplied with  
energy from the high-voltage battery.  
Operation when charging connector is connected  
When the charging connector is inserted, the stationary air conditioning will be supplied by the  
mains socket or the charging station. The operating options for the stationary air conditioning  
depend on the type of charging:  
Charging with alternating current (AC charging): The vehicle can be either charged or air  
conditioned. If you have programmed a departure time (→ Stationary air conditioning,  
Setting), the high-voltage battery will be charged first and then the vehicle interior cooled or  
heated. The charging process takes longer when the stationary air conditioning is switched on  
manually using the mobile telephone app.  
Charging with direct current (DC charging): The vehicle can be only air conditioned during  
charging. The charging station can switch itself off as soon as the high-voltage battery is  
charged. Heating or cooling of the vehicle interior will only continue if you have activated the  
option to operate the stationary air conditioning without an external power supply. This option  
can be set in the

Maximum cooling or heating output  
You can use the Infotainment system or mobile telephone app to select the maximum cooling or  
heating output.  
Maximum cooling (LO): set temperature to +16°C (+61°F).  
Maximum heating (HI): set temperature to +29.5°C (+85°F).  
When maximum cooling or heating is set, the temperature is controlled. Depending on the  
outside temperature, this may entail the contrary function being switched on temporarily.  
If stationary air conditioning is set to maximum cooling, the heater may still be switched on if  
the outside temperature is too low. A red vehicle shape is shown in the display for as long as the  
contrary function is active.  
If stationary air conditioning is set to maximum heating, the cooling may still be switched on if  
the outside temperature is too high. A blue vehicle shape is shown in the display for as long as  
the contrary function is active.  
If the charge level of the high-voltage battery is too low, the stationary air conditioning  
will switch off automatically or switch-on will be deactivated.  
Operating noises can be heard if the stationary air conditioning is switched on.  
The high-voltage battery discharges proportionally to how long or how often the  
stationary air conditioning is used without an external power supply.  
Programming the stationary air conditioning system  
The stationary air conditioning can be programmed to run for a certain run-up time.  
Departure times can be programmed in the Infotainment system using the e-Manager. For each  
departure time, settings can be made to determine whether the vehicle should be charged or air  
conditioned, or both at the same time. A target temperature can also be preset, and settings  
made to determine whether the vehicle should be air conditioned without an external power  
supply. Further information on the e-Manager (→ emanager, Description) and (→ High-voltage  
battery, Description).  
You program the temperature required in the vehicle at the planned departure time. Starting  
from the required temperature, the vehicle calculates the run-up time, i.e. the point in time when  
the stationary air conditioning is switched on in order to achieve the desired temperature. The  
maximum run-up time when the charging connector is switched on is approximately 30 minutes.  
The run-up time is approximately 10 minutes when the charging connector is not connected.  
Checking programming  
The next activated timer and the set functions are shown in the Infotainment system when the  
ignition is switched off.  
At very low outside temperatures, it is possible that the set temperature cannot be  
reached before you start the journey.
