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.
- During preconditioning of the passenger compartment, the car works to reach comfort temperature and not the temperature set in the climate control system.
- Air purification starts automatically when preconditioning is completed.
- Windows and doors must be closed for air purification to be possible.
- Air purification starts automatically when preconditioning is completed.
- Windows and doors must be closed for air purification to be possible.
