CLIMATE
* Option/accessory.
188
PreconditioningPreconditioning the vehicle before driving can help reduce wear and reduce energy consump-tion during a trip.
NOTE
Full preconditioning is only possible when the vehicle's charging cable is connected. In other cases, the passenger compartment can be cooled for 3 minutes in warm weather. This function is started from the
Parking
climate tab in the center display's Climate
view.
With the charging cable connected, precondition- ing can be started immediately or a timer functioncan start this procedure at a later time. This feature utilizes several of the vehicle's sys- tems:
• The High Voltage Coolant Heater (HVCH)warms the hybrid battery and passengercompartment in cold weather.
• In warm weather, the ventilation system willattempt to cool the passenger compartmentto the current ambient temperature.
• In warm weather, the air conditioning systemwill cool the passenger compartment to acomfortable temperature. •
The electrically heated steering wheel andseats can be activated.
• Heating for the windshield, tailgate windowand door mirrors can be activated.
If preconditioning is used in warm weather, a cer-tain amount of water may condense under thevehicle, which is normal. When preconditioning is used, this system will attempt to establish a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment but not necessarily
the temperature currently set in the climate system .
Maintaining a comfortable passenger compartment climate
The climate in the passenger compartment can be maintained even when the vehicle is parkedand the engine is turned off (e.g., if anyoneintends to remain in the vehicle). This function can only be direct-started.This function utilizes several of the vehicle's sys- tems:
• Residual heat from the engine is used helpkeep the passenger compartment warm incool temperatures.
• In warm weather, the ventilation system willattempt to cool the passenger compartmentto the current ambient temperature.
This function will not be activated if the vehicle islocked from the outside in order to avoid using residual engine heat unnecessarily. This functionis primarily intended for use when the engine isnot running but someone remains in the vehicle.

Locks and remote keys
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked in vari- ous ways and there are several types of remotekeys that can be used.
Locking/unlocking/opening/closingThe vehicle can be locked/unlocked from the passenger compartment, using the buttons onthe remote key or by using the optional PassiveEntry system where it is only necessary to have akey in your possession to lock or unlock thedoors. On models equipped with a power tailgate *, it can
also be opened/closed by moving your foot under a sensor * beneath the rear bumper.
If for any reason a remote key does not function properly, it may be necessary to replace its bat-teries but the vehicle can always be locked orunlocked manually using the remote key'sdetachable key blade.
Remote keyThe remote key does not have to be physicallyhandled in order to start the engine because thevehicle is equipped with the standard PassiveStart system (the key only needs to be in thefront part of the passenger compartment). If thevehicle is equipped with the optional PassiveEntry system that enables keyless entry and start,the key can be anywhere in the vehicle when theengine is started. Models with Passive Entry
* also have an extra,
smaller key without buttons called a Key Tag. Additional keys can be ordered from a Volvo retailer.
