Parking climate
Parking climate control is a generic term for various functions that improve the passenger compartment climate when the car is parked, e.g. preconditioning.
Functions belonging to the parking climate control are controlled from the Parking in climate view in the centre display. Open the climate view by tapping on the temperature symbol at the bottom centre of the centre display.
Symbols and messages for parking climate control
A number of symbols and messages regarding parking climate control can be shown in the driver display.

Climate comfort when parking
The climate in the car’s passenger compartment 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 possible via direct start from the centre display.
The function utilises several systems in different cases:
- Residual heat from the engine, in a cold climate, heats the passenger compartment to comfort temperature.
- When it is warm, the ventilation cools the passenger compartment by blowing in air from outside the car.
Never leave children alone in the car, or people unable to exit the car without assistance.
There is a limit to how long climate comfort can be maintained in a cold climate, which depends on the amount of residual heat available.
Starting and switching off climate comfort when parking
Climate comfort retention maintains the climate in the passenger compartment after driving. The function can use direct start from the centre display.
Open climate view in the centre display by pressing the symbol in the middle of the climate row.-
Tap on Use heat from drive to start climate comfort.
-
Climate comfort retention is started/switched off and the button illuminates/extinguishes.
-
It is not possible to start climate comfort retention if there is not enough residual heat in the engine to maintain the passenger compartment climate, or if the outside temperature is above approx. 20°C (68°F).
There is a limit to how long climate comfort can be maintained in a cold climate, which depends on the amount of residual heat available.
