Preconditioning*  
Parking climate control is a generic term for  
various functions that improve the passenger  
compartment climate when the car is parked,  
e.g. preconditioning.  
Preconditioning is a climate function which, if  
possible, attempts to reach comfort tempera-  
ture in the passenger compartment before  
departure.  
It is not possible to activate the air condi-  
tioning when the fan control is in Off posi-  
tion.  
Functions belonging to the parking  
climate 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 row.  
Preconditioning can use direct start or be set  
via the timer.
