Important safety notes G
WARNING
If persons, particularly children are subjected to prolonged exposure to extreme heat or
cold, there is a risk of injury, possibly even
fatal. Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.
General notes Using the "Pre-entry climate control at depar-
ture time" function, you can cool or heat the
vehicle interior prior to the desired departure time.
When using the "Pre-entry climate control at
departure time" function, the condition of
charge of the high-voltage battery must be
higher than the specified minimum condition of charge.
The running time of the climate control may
be reduced if:
R the vehicle is not connected to an electric
power supply
R the high-voltage battery is not fully charged
With active "Pre-entry climate control at
departure time" the condition of charge of the
high-voltage battery can be reduced, even if
the charge cable connector is connected.
In certain situations, the desired interior tem-
perature cannot be reached.
When the vehicle is cooled, the following
functions are activated as necessary:
R Climate control system
R Cooling with air dehumidification
R Blower
When the vehicle is heated, the following
functions are activated as necessary:
R Climate control system
R Blower
R Seat heating R
Windshield heating
R Rear window defroster
"Immediate pre-entry climate control" is auto-
matically switched off when operational read- iness mode is requested.
Setting the departure time You can set a departure time for the "Pre-
entry climate control at departure time". Your
vehicle will then be cooled or heated until the desired temperature is reached in time for the
set departure time. "Pre-entry climate control at departure time" will be activated a maxi-
mum of 35 minutes before departure. If the
departure is delayed, the vehicle will be
heated or cooled for a further five minutes.
You can set the desired departure time in the
E-CELL E-CELL submenu on the on-board computer
(Y page 195).
Activating immediate pre-entry climate
control You can activate "Immediate pre-entry cli-
mate control" even if the vehicle interior is
already at the desired temperature. This
means that the vehicle interior continues to
be cooled or heated, e.g. if the journey is
interrupted for up to 50 minutes, and the inte-
rior temperature is kept constant. You can
only set the desired temperature using the
climate control unit. If you do not pre-select a temperature, the last temperature set will be
automatically adopted. Operating the climate control systems

WARNING
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the air vents. This could result in burns or frostbite in the immediate vicinity of the air vents. There
is a risk of injury.
Make sure that all vehicle occupants always
maintain a sufficient distance to the air out-
lets. If necessary, redirect the airflow to
another area of the vehicle interior.
In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle interior,
please observe the following notes:
R keep the air inlet between the windshield
and the hood free of blockages, such as ice, snow or leaves.
R never cover the air vents or air intake grilles
in the vehicle interior.
i You can move the adjusters for the air
vents vertically or horizontally to set the

RANGE PLUS If you activate RANGE PLUS, the operating
window of the battery will be extended at the
next charging process. An extended driving
range will be available to you for the next
journey.
Using RANGE PLUS shortens the service life
of the battery. Therefore, only use RANGE
PLUS if, for example:
R long journeys are planned or
R the availability of charging stations at the
destination is limited
The more often RANGE PLUS is used, the
more the extended range is reduced.
Therefore always check the range display
before every journey (Y page 188).144
