Preconditioning

(Option/accessory)

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.

The function utilises several systems in different cases:

  • In a cold climate, the parking heater warms up the passenger compartment to a comfortable temperature.
  • When it is warm, the climate control ventilates the passenger compartment by blowing in air from outside the car.

Note
In temperatures immediately below comfort temperature, neither ventilation nor heating is activated and no preconditioning is started.

Warning
Never leave children alone in the car, or people unable to exit the car without assistance.

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
Precleaning starts automatically when preconditioning is completed.

Start and switch off preconditioning

(Option/accessory)

Preconditioning heats or ventilates the passenger compartment, if possible, prior to driving. The function can use direct start from the centre display or a mobile phone.
