Starting and stopping preconditioning
Preconditioning heats or cools the passenger compartment before driving. Preconditioning can be started in the center display or from a cellular phone.
Starting/stopping from the center display
Open Climate view in the center display.
Select the Parking climate tab.
Tap the boxes to select if seat/steering wheel heating should be activated along with preconditioning.
Tap Preconditioning.
Preconditioning starts/stops and the button lights up/goes out.
Note
Preconditioning is only available when the car is connected to an electrical outlet. A charging 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 compartment by direct starting preconditioning.
Note
The vehicle doors and windows should be closed during preconditioning of the passenger compartment.
Starting from app*
A device with the Volvo On Call* app can be used to start preconditioning or check settings. Preconditioning heats or cools the passenger compartment (using the vehicle's air conditioning) to a comfortable temperature.
The passenger compartment can also be preconditioned using the Engine Remote Start (ERS)1 function using the Volvo On Call* app.
