Preconditioning starts/stops and the button lights up/goes out.
Note
Preconditioning is only 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.
The vehicle doors and windows should be closed during preconditioning of the passenger compartment.Note
Pre-cleaning* starts automatically when preconditioning is complete.Note
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*.
