Preconditioning
Preconditioning is a climate function that, if possible, attempts to achieve a comfortabletemperature in the passenger compartmentbefore driving.
Preconditioning can be started immediately or started at a preset time using a timer. The function utilizes several of the vehicle's systems:
In cold weather, the parking heater heatsthe passenger compartment to a comfort-able temperature.
In warm weather, air conditioning coolsthe passenger compartment to a comfort-able temperature.
The electrically heated steering wheel
*
and seats * can be activated.
Heating for the windshield, rear windowand door mirrors are automatically acti-vated as needed.
During preconditioning in a hot climate, con-densation from the air conditions may dripunder the vehicle. This is normal.

Speed-dependent steering wheel resistance Speed-dependent power steering increases the steering wheel resistance in pace withthe vehicle's speed, which can help give thedriver an enhanced feeling of control and sta-bility.
Steering is stiffer on highways. When parking and at low speeds, it will be easier to movethe steering wheel.
NOTE
In rare situations, the power steering may become too hot andrequire temporary cooling – dur-ing such time the power steering
will work at reduced output and the steer-ing wheel may feel more difficult to move. The message
Power steering Assistance
temporarily reduced will be displayed
along with this symbol in the instrument panel.
While the power steering is working at reduced power, the driver support func-tions and systems with steering assistanceare not available.
