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.
NOTE
Preconditioning is available only when the
car is connected to an electrical socket
4
. 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.
NOTE
During preconditioning of the passenger
compartment, the car works to reach com-
fort temperature and not the temperature
set in the climate control system.
