Note
Preconditioning can be used to warm up the vehicle even if it is not connected to an electrical outlet. Full preconditioning is available when the hybrid battery has a sufficient charge level. Otherwise, preconditioning is limited depending on the charge level of the hybrid battery.
If the vehicle is not connected to an electrical socket it is still possible in a warm climate to achieve brief cooling of the passenger compartment by direct starting preconditioning.
If the vehicle is connected to charging and the battery is fully charged, the timer for preconditioning can be run up to 120 minutes with energy from the charger.
A charging post that is not always active, for example because of a timer, can cause loss of function for preconditioning.
