CLIMATE CONTROL
* Option/accessory. 200
Preconditioning can use direct start or be set via
the timer.
The function utilises several systems in different
cases:
•
In a cold climate, the parking heater warms
up the passenger compartment to a comfort-
able temperature.
•
The air conditioning, in a hot climate, cools
the passenger compartment to the comfort
temperature.
•
Activation of heated steering wheel
*
and
heated seats
*
for driver and passenger can
be selected.
•
Heated windscreen, rear window and door
mirrors are automatically activated as
required.
During preconditioning in a hot climate, conden-
sation from the air conditioning may drip under
the car. This is normal.
NOTE
Preconditioning is available only when the car
is connected to an electrical socket
4
. A
charging station which is not always active,
e.g. on account of a timer, may cause precon-
ditioning to malfunction.
If the car is not connected to an electrical
socket, it is still possible to cool the passen-
ger compartment briefly in a warm climate by
starting preconditioning directly.
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.
The function utilises several systems in different
cases:
•
Residual heat from the engine, in a cold cli-
mate, heats the passenger compartment to
comfort temperature.
•
When it is warm, the ventilation cools the
passenger compartment by blowing in air
from outside the car.
NOTE
Climate comfort retention is switched off
when the car is locked from the outside to
avoid using residual heat unnecessarily. Use
of the function is intended to maintain climate
comfort when driver or passengers remain
inside the car.
