This is useful:
R
if you wish to cool the interior of the
vehicle before driving
R
if you wish to charge the vehicle at a
charging station/wallbox at the most
inexpensive electricity rate
With the "Air conditioning before start"
function, the vehicle interior is cooled
prior to a desired departure time.
Prerequisites:
R
The doors and tailgate are closed.
R
The charging cable for the high‑voltage
battery is connected to a power source
and inserted into the vehicle's power
socket.
R
The high‑voltage battery has a suffi-
cient charge.
The maximum duration of "Air condition-
ing before start" is 30 minutes.
Set the air distribution of your vehicle as
follows so that the "Air conditioning
before start" function has the greatest
effect:
R
in summer, to the center and side vents
R
in winter, onto the windshield and side
windows
Information on air distribution can be
found on (
Y
page 102).
The setting of the airflow regulator has no
influence on the "Air conditioning before
start" function.
i
If the programmed time is too short, the
high‑voltage battery cannot be com-
pletely charged. After setting the depar-
ture time, the maximum charge level
which can be reached is then shown.
i
If the high‑voltage battery is not suf-
ficiently charged and the "Air condi-
tioning before start" function is acti-
vated, the high‑voltage battery is
charged first. When a charge level of at
least 20 % has been reached, the "Air con-
ditioning before start" function is acti-
vated. This function then has priority
over the charging of the high‑voltage
battery.
