Preconditioning can be used to warm up the vehicle even if it is not plugged into an electrical outlet. Full preconditioning is available when the hybrid battery is sufficiently charged. Otherwise, preconditioning is limited depending on the charge level of the hybrid battery.

If the vehicle is not connected to an electrical socket it is still possible in a warm climate to achieve brief cooling of the passenger compartment by direct starting preconditioning.

 Note

The vehicle doors and windows should be closed during preconditioning of the passenger compartment.

 Note

Pre-cleaning* starts automatically when preconditioning is complete.

Start from the mobile app

A device with the Volvo Cars app* can be used to start preconditioning or check settings. Preconditioning heats or cools the passenger compartment (using the vehicle's air conditioning) to a comfortable temperature.

The passenger compartment can also be preconditioned using the (Engine Remote Start – ERS)1 function via the Volvo Cars app*.
