Preconditioning*
Parking climate control is a generic term for
various functions that improve the passenger
compartment climate when the car is parked,
e.g. preconditioning.
Preconditioning is a climate function which, if
possible, attempts to reach comfort tempera-
ture in the passenger compartment before
departure.
It is not possible to activate the air condi-
tioning when the fan control is in Off posi-
tion.
Functions belonging to the parking
climate control are controlled from
the Parking climate in climate view
in the centre display. Open climate
view by pressing the symbol in the middle of
the climate row.
Preconditioning can use direct start or be set
via the timer.
