 Note

Preconditioning is only available when the vehicle is plugged into an electrical outlet. A charging post that is not always active, e.g. due to a timer, can prevent preconditioning from functioning.

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.

 Note

The vehicle doors and windows should be closed during preconditioning of the passenger compartment.

 Note

Pre-cleaning* starts automatically when preconditioning is complete.

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.
