Preconditioning

*

Preconditioning is a climate function that, if
possible, attempts to achieve a comfortable
temperature in the passenger compartment
before driving.

Preconditioning can be started immediately or
started at a preset time using a timer.

In warm weather, the climate system venti-
lates the passenger compartment by blowing
air in from outside. The function cannot heat
the passenger compartment.

NOTE

During preconditioning of the passenger
compartment, the vehicle works to reach a
comfortable temperature and not the tem-
perature set in the climate system.

NOTE

Pre-cleaning

*

 starts automatically when

preconditioning is complete.

Climate comfort retaining

function

*

The climate in the passenger compartment
can be maintained when the vehicle is
parked, e.g. if the engine is turned off but the
driver or passengers remain in the vehicle.

This function can only be direct-started from
the center display.

The function utilizes several of the vehicle's
systems:

•

Residual heat from the engine is used to
help heat the passenger compartment to a
comfortable temperature.

•

In warm weather, the ventilation system
cools the passenger compartment by
blowing air in from outside.

NOTE

Climate comfort maintenance will be deac-
tivated if the vehicle is locked from the out-
side in order to avoid using residual engine
heat unnecessarily. This function is
intended to be used to maintain climate
comfort when the driver or a passenger
remains in the vehicle after the engine is
turned off.

The climate comfort retaining function is
limited in duration in cold weather depend-
ing on the amount of residual warmth
available.
