Adjusting cabin temperature before driving reduces traction battery consumption
after departure, thereby increasing driving range. If the amount of charge
remaining in the traction battery is less than 50% at the time Pre-climate
operation is scheduled to begin, Pre-climate operations will not be performed in
order to preserve driving range.
The climate control system can be turned on before entering the vehicle by
setting the Pre-climate schedule or using the Smartphone Entune
® EV Remote
Climate application on a smartphone.
Pre-climate operations completion can be set for a specific time on each day of
the week.
