Warning
Do not use preconditioning if the car is equipped with a heater*:
- In unventilated spaces indoors. Exhaust gases are emitted if the heater starts.
- In locations with combustible or flammable material nearby. Fuel, gas, long grass, sawdust, etc. may ignite.
- When there is a risk that the heater’s exhaust line may be blocked. For example, deep snow under the front part of the car can obstruct the heater’s ventilation.
Remember that the preconditioning can be started by a timer that has been set for a long time in advance.
Starting from the app
Starting the pre-conditioning, as well as information on selected settings, can be managed from a device that has Volvo Cars* App. Preconditioning heats* the compartment to the comfort temperature or ventilates the compartment by blowing in air from outside.
The passenger compartment can also be preconditioned with the car remote start function (Engine Remote Start - ERS)1 via the Volvo Cars* app.
