2023 Volvo C40 Recharge Preconditioning

Preconditioning

Preconditioning is a climate function which, if possible, attempts to reach comfort temperature in the passenger compartment before departure. Preconditioning can use direct start or be set via the timer from the centre display. It can also be started from a device that has the Volvo Cars app (Option/accessory). The function utilises several systems in different cases:

  • In a cold climate, the parking heater warms up the passenger compartment to a comfortable temperature.
  • The air conditioning, in a hot climate, cools the passenger compartment to the comfort temperature.
  • Activation of heated steering wheel (Option/accessory) and heated seats (Option/accessory) for driver and passenger can be selected.
  • Heated rear window and door mirrors are automatically activated as required.

During preconditioning in a hot climate, condensation from the air conditioning may drip under the car. This is normal.

Note
Preconditioning is available when the high voltage battery is sufficiently charged, but performing preconditioning without the car being connected to charging affects the car’s range to a great extent.
Note
During preconditioning of the passenger compartment, the car works to reach comfort temperature and not the temperature set in the climate control system.
Note
Air purification (Option/accessory.) starts automatically when preconditioning is completed. Windows and doors must be closed for air purification to be possible.

Start and switch off preconditioning

Preconditioning heats or cools the passenger compartment, if possible, prior to driving. The function is started directly from the centre display or the Volvo Cars app.

  1. Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display.
  2. Press Parking.
  3. Tap on Start heating/cooling to start preconditioning directly
Note
Preconditioning is available when the high voltage battery is sufficiently charged, but performing preconditioning without the car being connected to charging affects the car’s range to a great extent.
Note
The car’s doors and windows should be closed during the preconditioning of the passenger compartment.
Note
Air purification (Option/accessory) starts automatically when preconditioning is completed. Windows and doors must be closed for air purification to be possible.
Note
When the driver’s seat is occupied (Usage mode Comfort) preconditioning is paused, and normal climate control is started. When the car starts to drive (Usage mode Drive), preconditioning is switched off.
