Parking climate
*
The climate of the car's passenger compartment can be preconditioned or maintained while thecar is parked.
Preconditioning and climate comfort retention are con- trolled from the Parking climate tab in the centre dis-
play's climate view.
PreconditioningPreconditioning of the car before driving reduces wear and energy needs during a journey. Preconditioning can use direct start or be set viathe 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 thepassenger compartment to the current outertemperature.
NOTE
During preconditioning of the passenger compartment, the car works to reach comforttemperature and not the temperature set inthe climate control system.
Climate comfort retentionThe climate in the car's passenger compartment can be maintained while the car is parked, e.g. ifthe engine needs to be switched off but thedriver or passenger(s) wants to remain in the carand maintain the level of climate comfort. Starting climate comfort retention is only possible via direct start.
