Pre-conditioning
Principle
▷
▷
Lever for changing the airflow direction, ar-
row 1.
Pre-conditioning cools or heats the vehicle in-
terior to a comfortable temperature, depend-
ing on the inside/outside temperature, prior to
starting a drive. This function makes it easier
to remove snow and ice.

Setting the ventilation
Depending on the desired ventilation, align the
air flow directly or indirectly toward the pas-
sengers.
General information
The pre-conditioning can be switched on and
off directly or via a preset departure time.
The air automatically exits through the air
vents to the windshield, the side windows, the
upper body area and into the footwell.
Air quality
The system switches off automatically after
approx. 30 minutes or when the drive-ready
state is activated.
General information
The air quality in the interior is improved by the
following components:
Preconditioning the vehicle while it charges,
makes it easier for the climate control system
to regulate the temperature while driving. This
optimizes the range.

▷
Emission tested passenger compartment.
Interior filter.
Air conditioning system to control the
temperature, air flow and recirculated-air
mode.
Functional requirements
▷
The vehicle is in idle state or standby state.
▷
Stationary climate control.
▷
The high-voltage battery is sufficiently
charged or a charging cable is connected.
Interior filter
The interior filter cleans the incoming fresh
air or the circulated interior air in recirculation
mode.
If the high-voltage battery is deeply dis-
charged, it may take some time for the
preconditioning to be functional after the
charging cable is connected.
Depending on the equipment:
▷
▷
Time and date are set correctly.
The ventilation air vents are open.
▷
Dust and pollen is filtered out from the in-
flowing air.
▷
Nano-particle emissions are reduced.
