Preconditioning time setting
The timer can be set so that the preconditioning is finished at a predetermined time.
The timer can handle up to 8 different settings for
- a time on a single date
- a time on one or more days of the week, with or without repetition.
Note
Preconditioning can be used to heat the car even if it is not connected to an electrical socket. 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 car is not connected to an electrical socket, it is still possible to cool the passenger compartment briefly in a warm climate by starting preconditioning directly.
If the car is connected to charging and the battery is fully charged, the timer for preconditioning can be run for up to 120 minutes on energy from the charger.
A charging station which is not always active, e.g. on account of a timer, may cause preconditioning to malfunction.
