CLIMATE
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.190

Preconditioning
Preconditioning the vehicle before driving canhelp reduce wear and reduce energy consump-tion during a trip.

NOTE
Full preconditioning is only possible when thevehicle's charging cable is connected.
In other cases, the passenger compartmentcan be cooled for 3 minutes in warm weather.This function is started from the Parkingclimate tab in the center display's Climateview.
With the charging cable connected, precondition-ing can be started immediately or a timer functioncan start this procedure at a later time.
This feature utilizes several of the vehicle's sys-tems:
•The High Voltage Coolant Heater (HVCH)warms the hybrid battery and passengercompartment in cold weather.
•In warm weather, the ventilation system willattempt to cool the passenger compartmentto the current ambient temperature.
•In warm weather, the air conditioning systemwill cool the passenger compartment to acomfortable temperature.
•The electrically heated steering wheel andseats can be activated.
•Heating for the windshield, tailgate windowand door mirrors can be activated.
If preconditioning is used in warm weather, a cer-tain amount of water may condense under thevehicle, which is normal.
When preconditioning is used, this system willattempt to establish a comfortable temperature inthe passenger compartment but not necessarilythe temperature currently set in the climatesystem.

Maintaining a comfortable passenger
compartment climate
The climate in the passenger compartment canbe maintained even when the vehicle is parkedand the engine is turned off (e.g., if anyoneintends to remain in the vehicle).
This function can only be direct-started.
This function utilizes several of the vehicle's sys-tems:
•Residual heat from the engine is used helpkeep the passenger compartment warm incool temperatures.
•In warm weather, the ventilation system willattempt to cool the passenger compartmentto the current ambient temperature.
This function will not be activated if the vehicle islocked from the outside in order to avoid using
residual engine heat unnecessarily. This functionis primarily intended for use when the engine isnot running but someone remains in the vehicle.
