Parking climate
Parking climate control is a generic term for vari-
ous functions that improve the passenger com-
partment climate when the car is parked, e.g.
preconditioning.
Functions belonging to the parking cli-
mate 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

Preconditioning
Preconditioning is a climate function which, if
possible, attempts to reach comfort temperature
in the passenger compartment before departure.
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
2
. 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.
