Preconditioning
Preconditioning of the car before driving can
reduce wear and energy needs during a journey.
Preconditioning can use direct start or be set via
the timer.
The function utilises several systems in different
cases:
In a cold climate, the parking heater warms
•
up the passenger compartment to a comfort-
able temperature.
The air conditioning, in a hot climate, cools
•
the passenger compartment to the comfort
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, conden-
sation from the air conditioning may drip under
the car. This is normal.
