▷ Gaseous pollutants are filtered.
▷ Microbial particles, viruses and allergens
are filtered.
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
having the interior filter changed during vehicle
maintenance.
Pre-conditioning
Principle
Pre-conditioning cools or heats the vehicle in-
terior to a comfortable temperature prior to
starting the trip depending on the inside and
outside temperature. Snow and ice may be re-
moved more easily.
General information
The pre-conditioning can be switched on and
off directly or via a preset departure time.
The air automatically exits through the air
vents to the windshield, the side windows, the
upper body area and into the footwell.
The system switches off automatically after
approx. 30 minutes or when the drive-ready
state is activated.
If pre-conditioning is used during the charg-
ing process, less air conditioning capacity will
be required while driving. This optimizes the
range.
Functional requirements
▷ The vehicle is in idle state or standby state.
▷ The high-voltage battery is sufficiently
charged or a charging cable is connected.
If the high-voltage battery is heavily dis-
charged, it can take some time after con-
necting the charging cable before the pre-
conditioning is functional.
▷ Time and date are set correctly.
▷ The ventilation air vents are open.

The system can be switched on using the vehi-
cle key.
Press the button on the vehicle key
three times within 1 second.
After using the vehicle key, it takes ap-
prox. 3 seconds until preconditioning is turned
on.
Automatic switch-off
To ensure the starting capability of the ve-
hicle, the pre-conditioning may be automati-
cally switched off, for instance after repeated
switching on or due to an insufficient state of
charge of the high-voltage battery. After the
stationary climate control is switched off due
to an insufficient state of charge, charge the
high-voltage battery. The pre-conditioning is
then available again.
Climate control for departure time
General information
Departure times can be set with time and day
of the week.
The switch-on point is determined automati-
cally based on the temperature.
On the desired weekdays, the system will be
turned on promptly before the set departure
time.
