Parking climate
The climate of the car's passenger compartment
, Middle and Low .
can be preconditioned or maintained while the
car is parked.
or High in
Preconditioning and climate comfort retention are con-
trolled from the Parking climate tab in the centre dis-
play's climate view.
Preconditioning
Preconditioning of the car before driving reduces
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 ventilation, in a hot climate, cools the
passenger compartment to the current outer
temperature.
•
The air conditioning, in a hot climate, cools
the passenger compartment to the comfort
temperature.
•
The heated steering wheel and heated driver
and passenger seats can be activated.
•
Heating of the windscreen, rear window and
door mirrors can be activated.
During preconditioning in a hot climate, conden-
sation from the air conditioning may drip under
the car. This is normal.
