The air inside the vehicle can be heated, ventila- ted or cooled to the set temperature when the
vehicle is parked.
When the vehicle is connected to power supply equipment, priority will be given to charging the
high-voltage battery to a speciNed minimum
charge.
The running time of pre-entry climate control may be reduced in the following circumstances:
= The vehicle is not connected to power supply
equipment.
= The high-voltage battery is not fully charged.
With active pre-entry climate control, the charge level of the high-voltage battery may be reduced,
even if the charging cable connector is connec-
ted.
If present, seat ventilation will be activated in
cooling and ventilation modes.
If present, the following functions will be activated
in heating mode:
