VEHICLE PRECONDITIONING OVERVIEW

WARNING
Make sure all relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See VEHICLE PRECONDITIONING SAFETY.

The timed climate preconditioning system, when in operation, provides a comfortable temperature inside the cabin, in advance of using the vehicle. It also assists vehicles starting in low temperatures. When leaving the vehicle for a short period of time, using the Precondition now option can also maintain a temperature.

Timed departure preconditioning can be controlled via the touchscreen controls. Additionally, it can be operated via a remote climate app. See DEPARTURE TIMES.

The manual preconditioning can be controlled via the lower touchscreen controls. Additionally, it can be operated via a remote climate app or by using the timed climate remote. See PRECONDITIONING SETTINGS.

The timed climate system may not operate, or switches off automatically, in the following scenarios:

If the fuel level is low.
If the vehicle’s high voltage battery charge is low.
If the coolant temperature is subjected to extreme cold climate conditions. In extreme cold climate conditions, if an engine pre-heater is fitted, it overrides a vehicle preconditioning program.
If the system has been in operation for 30 minutes.
If a timed event has been activated within the previous 30 minutes.
