Pre-ventilation
Principle
The car's interior can be cooled or heated before
driving off with the pre-ventilation. Depending on
set temperature and ambient temperature, the
car's interior is ventilated or possibly heated us‐
ing the residual engine heat.
General information
The system can be switched on and off directly
or via a preset departure time.
The activation time is determined based on the
outside temperature. The system promptly
switches on before the selected departure time.
Functional requirements
▷ The vehicle is in idle state or standby state
and not in drive-ready state.
▷ The battery is sufficiently charged.
If pre-ventilation is switched on, the vehicle
battery will be discharged. Thus, limit the
maximum activation time to save the vehicle
battery. The system will be available again af‐
ter the engine is started or after a short trip.
