Pre-cleaning

*

Pre-cleaning of the vehicle before driving is
used to improve the air quality in the passen-
ger compartment.

It is only possible to activate pre-cleaning
manually from the center display, but the func-
tion is also started automatically when pre-
conditioning has finished.

The function uses the ventilation system to
blow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment and then circulates the air through the
climate system's passenger compartment air
filter.

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.
