Climate comfort retaining function
The climate in the passenger compartment can
be maintained when the vehicle is parked, e.g. if
the engine is turned off but the driver or passen-
gers remain in the vehicle.
This function can only be direct-started.
The function utilizes several of the vehicle's sys-
tems: Residual heat from the engine is used to
help heat the passenger compartment to a
comfortable temperature.
In warm weather, the ventilation system cools
the passenger compartment by blowing air in
from outside.
NOTE Climate comfort maintenance will be deacti-
vated if the vehicle is locked from the outside
in order to avoid using residual engine heat
unnecessarily. This function is intended to be
used to maintain climate comfort when the
driver or a passenger remains in the vehicle
after the engine is turned off.

compartment reach the correct temperature
before and while driving.

partment as needed when the parking cli-
mate's preconditioning is activated.

tery. If the charge level in the hybrid battery is too
low, the heater will switch off automatically and a
message will be displayed in the instrument
panel.
NOTE Make sure that the battery has sufficient
charge if the heater must be used.
