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
tab
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 windshield, rear window
•
and door mirrors are automatically acti-
vated as needed.
During preconditioning in a hot climate, con-
densation from the air conditions may drip
under the vehicle. This is normal.
