Preconditioning can be started immediately or started at a preset time using a timer.
- In cold weather, the parking heater heats the passenger compartment to a comfortable temperature.
- In warm weather, air conditioning cools the passenger compartment to a comfortable temperature.
- The electrically heated steering wheel* and seats* can be activated.
- Heating for the rear window and door mirrors is automatically activated as needed.
Warning
During preconditioning in a hot climate, condensation from the air conditions may drip under the vehicle. This is normal.
Note
Preconditioning is available when the vehicle is plugged into an electrical outlet. A charging post that is not always active, e.g. due to a timer, can prevent preconditioning from functioning.
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. If preconditioning is started when the vehicle is not plugged in for charging, the vehicle's charge level will be affected due to the electric current needed for preconditioning.
