Interior climate when parked

You can precondition your car so that the passenger compartment is prepared for your next trip. You can also keep certain climate features active when you are parked.

Preconditioning

Preconditioning automatically activates the auto climate mode to heat up or cool down the passenger compartment to a comfortable temperature before you enter your car.

You can schedule single and recurring preconditioning timers in the centre display or via the mobile app for the car. Preconditioning automatically deactivates when the scheduled time is reached or you begin driving.

You can also start preconditioning without scheduling a timer. This can be done in the centre display or via the app.

For preconditioning to be available, the traction battery must be sufficiently charged. If preconditioning is started when your car is not connected for charging, the car's range will be affected.

For preconditioning to be available, the car must have a sufficient amount of fuel in the fuel tank. If the fuel level in the car is too low, the heater will switch off.

 Note

When preconditioning in a hot climate, condensation might drip under the car. This is normal.

Keeping climate active while parked

You can maintain a comfortable climate in the car while you are away from it by using the keep climate active function. You can activate the function via the centre display.

 Note

Parking climate functions automatically turn off when their maximum running time is reached.

 Warning

Never leave a child or pet unattended in your car. You are responsible for their safety and well-being. Some regions have laws prohibiting people or pets being left inside a locked vehicle.
