USING PRECONDITIONING
Preconditioning can be set using the Volvo On Call mobile app and via
the car's centre display.
Preconditioning cools or heats the passenger compartment to comfort
temperature before driving, which also reduces wear and energy
requirements while driving. It is possible to direct start or set precondi-
tioning via timer.
The function uses several systems in different cases. In a cold climate,
the parking heater heats the passenger compartment to comfort
temperature. In a hot climate, the ventilation or air conditioning cools
the passenger compartment. Electric heating of steering wheel, seats,
windscreen, rear window and door mirrors can also be activated.
Direct-starting preconditioning:
1. Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on at the
bottom of the screen.
2. Select the
Parking climate
tab.
3. Select whether electric heating of the seats and steering wheel
should be activated during preconditioning by ticking the respective
box.
4. Tap on Preconditioning . Preconditioning is started and the button
illuminates.
Setting the timer for preconditioning:
– Select
Parking climate > Add timer
and set date/day as required.
In order that preconditioning should have full function, the car must be
connected to an electrical socket (applies to cars with electric heater).
A fuel-driven auxiliary heater or an electric heater is used depending
on market. An authorised Volvo dealer has information about which
markets use which heater.
