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

in the centre display. Open climate

view by pressing the symbol in the middle of
the climate row.

Preconditioning

Preconditioning is a climate function which, if
possible, attempts to reach comfort tempera-
ture in the passenger compartment before
departure.

Preconditioning can use direct start or be set
via the timer.

The function utilises several systems in differ-
ent 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 com-
fort temperature.

•

Activation of heated steering wheel

and

heated seats

for driver and passenger can

be selected.

•

Heated windscreen, rear window and door
mirrors are automatically activated as
required.

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

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CLIMATE

240

Preconditioning is available only when the
car is connected to an electrical socket

. A

charging station which is not always
active, e.g. on account of a timer, may
cause preconditioning to malfunction.

If the car is not connected to an electrical
socket, it is still possible to cool the pas-
senger compartment briefly in a warm cli-
mate by starting preconditioning directly.

(p. 240)

During preconditioning of the passenger
compartment, the car works to reach com-
fort temperature and not the temperature
set in the climate control system.

WARNING

Do not use preconditioning

•

In unventilated spaces indoors.
Exhaust gases are emitted if the heater
starts.

•

In locations with combustible or flam-
mable material nearby. Fuel, gas, long
grass, sawdust, etc. may ignite.

•

When there is a risk that the heater’s
exhaust line may be blocked. For
example, deep snow inside the front
right-hand wheel housing can obstruct
the heater’s ventilation.

Remember that the preconditioning can be

started by a timer that has been set for a

long time in advance.

Starting from the app

Start of preconditioning and information about
the selected settings can be managed from a
device that has the Volvo On Call

app. Pre-

conditioning heats or cools the passenger
compartment (using the car's air conditioning)
to comfort temperature.

The passenger compartment can also be pre-
conditioned with the car remote start function
(Engine Remote Start - ERS)

via the Volvo

On Call

app.

Climate comfort when parking

The climate in the car's passenger compart-
ment 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 pos-
sible via direct start.

The function utilises several systems in differ-
ent cases:

•

Residual heat from the engine, in a cold
climate, heats the passenger compart-
ment to comfort temperature.

•

When it is warm, the ventilation cools the
passenger compartment by blowing in air
from outside the car.

Starting and switching off climate comfort
when parking (p. 245)

Climate comfort retention is switched off
when the car is locked from the outside to
avoid using residual heat unnecessarily.
Use of the function is intended to maintain
climate comfort when driver or passengers
remain inside the car.
