Starting/Stopping Preconditioning - Volvo XC 90 Owner's Manual

Preconditioning can use direct start or be set via
the timer.
The function utilises several systems in different
cases:
•
The parking heater*, in a cold climate, warms
up both the passenger compartment and the
engine.
•
The ventilation, in a hot climate, cools the
passenger compartment to the current outer
temperature.
NOTE
During preconditioning of the passenger
compartment, the car works to reach comfort
temperature and not the temperature set in
the climate control system.
Climate comfort retention
The climate in the car's passenger compartment
can be maintained while the car is parked, e.g. if
the engine needs to be switched off but the
driver or passenger(s) wants to remain in the car
and maintain the level of climate comfort.
Starting climate comfort retention is only possible
via direct start.
The function utilises several systems in different
cases:
•
Residual heat from the engine, in a cold cli-
mate, heats the passenger compartment to
comfort temperature.
•
The ventilation, in a hot climate, cools the
passenger compartment to the current outer
temperature.
NOTE
Climate comfort retention is switched off
when the car is locked from the outside to
avoid using residual heat unnecessarily. Use
of the function is intended to maintain climate
comfort when driver or passengers remain
inside the car.
