The passenger compartment climate can be pre-

parked. For full functionality, the vehicle's charg-
ing cable must be plugged in. Preconditioning and the climate comfort retaining func-
tion are controlled from the Parking climate tab in the

(p. 236) Preconditioning
Preconditioning the vehicle before driving can
help reduce wear and reduce energy consump-
tion during a trip.
Preconditioning can be started immediately or
started at a preset time using a timer.
The function utilizes several of the vehicle's sys-
tems:
• In cold weather, the high-voltage coolant
heater (HVCH) heats the passenger com-
partment to a comfortable temperature.
• In warm weather, air conditioning cools the
passenger compartment to a comfortable
temperature.
• The electrically heated steering wheel* and
seats* can be activated.
• Heating for the windshield, rear window and
door mirrors are automatically activated as
needed.
During preconditioning in a hot climate, conden-
sation from the air conditions may drip under the
vehicle. This is normal.

NOTE Preconditioning is only available when the car
is connected to an electrical outlet. A charg-
ing post that is not always active, for example
because of a timer, can cause loss of function
for preconditioning.
If the car is not connected to an electrical
socket it is still possible in a warm climate to
achieve brief cooling of the passenger com-
partment by direct starting preconditioning.
NOTE
During preconditioning of the passenger
compartment, the vehicle works to reach a
comfortable temperature and not the tem-
perature set in the climate system.

The climate in the passenger compartment can
be maintained when the vehicle is parked, e.g. if
the engine is turned off but the driver or passen-
gers remain in the vehicle. This function can only be direct-started.
The function utilizes several of the vehicle's sys-
tems:
• Residual heat from the engine is used to
help heat the passenger compartment to a
comfortable temperature.
• In warm weather, the ventilation system cools
the passenger compartment by blowing air in
from outside.
NOTE Climate comfort maintenance will be deacti-
vated if the vehicle is locked from the outside
in order to avoid using residual engine heat
unnecessarily. This function is intended to be
used to maintain climate comfort when the
driver or a passenger remains in the vehicle
after the engine is turned off.
