CLIMATE CONTROL
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.
The function utilizes several of the vehicle's
systems:
In cold weather, the parking heater heats
•
the passenger compartment to a comfort-
able temperature.
In warm weather, air conditioning cools
•
the passenger compartment to a comfort-
able temperature.
The electrically heated steering wheel*
•
and seats* can be activated.
Heating for the rear window and door mir-
•
rors is automatically activated as needed.
During preconditioning in a hot climate, con-
densation from the air conditions may drip
under the vehicle. This is normal.

NOTE
Preconditioning is only available when the
vehicle is plugged into an electrical outlet.
A charging post that is not always active,
e.g. due to a timer, can prevent precondi-
tioning from functioning.
If the vehicle is not connected to an electri-
cal socket it is still possible in a warm cli-
mate to achieve brief cooling of the pas-
senger compartment by direct starting pre-
conditioning.
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.
