Climate comfort retaining function
The climate in the passenger compartment
can be maintained when the vehicle is
parked, e.g. if the engine is turned off but the
driver or passengers remain in the vehicle.
This function can only be direct-started.
The function utilizes several of the vehicle's
systems:
Residual heat from the engine is used to
•
help heat the passenger compartment to a
comfortable temperature.
In warm weather, the ventilation system
•
cools the passenger compartment by
blowing air in from outside.
NOTE
Climate comfort maintenance will be deac-
tivated if the vehicle is locked from the out-
side in order to avoid using residual engine
heat unnecessarily. This function is
intended to be used to maintain climate
comfort when the driver or a passenger
remains in the vehicle after the engine is
turned off.
