Parking climate
*
The climate of the car's passenger compartment
can be preconditioned or maintained while the
car is parked.
Preconditioning and climate comfort retention are con-
trolled from the Parking climate tab in the centre dis-
play's climate view.
Preconditioning
Preconditioning of the car before driving reduces
wear and energy needs during a journey.
Preconditioning can use direct start or be set via
the timer.
The function utilises several systems in different
cases:
•
The parking heater
*
, in a cold climate, warms
up both the passenger compartment and the
engine.
•
The ventilation, in a hot climate, cools the
passenger compartment to the current outer
temperature.
NOTE
During preconditioning of the passenger
compartment, the car works to reach comfort
temperature and not the temperature set in
the climate control system.
Climate comfort retention
The climate in the car's passenger compartment
can be maintained while the car is parked, e.g. if
the engine needs to be switched off but the
driver or passenger(s) wants to remain in the car
and maintain the level of climate comfort.
Starting climate comfort retention is only possible
via direct start.
