CLIMATE CONTROL

Climate comfort retaining function
The climate in the passenger compartment can be maintained when the vehicle isparked, e.g. if the engine is turned off but thedriver or passengers remain in the vehicle.
This function can only be direct-started. The function utilizes several of the vehicle's systems:
Residual heat from the engine is used tohelp heat the passenger compartment to acomfortable temperature.
In warm weather, the ventilation systemcools the passenger compartment byblowing air in from outside.
NOTE
Climate comfort maintenance will be deac- tivated if the vehicle is locked from the out-side in order to avoid using residual engineheat unnecessarily. This function isintended to be used to maintain climatecomfort when the driver or a passengerremains in the vehicle after the engine isturned off.

The climate retaining function maintains the climate settings in the vehicle after theengine has been switched off. The functioncan be activated in the center display.
1. Tap the symbol in the center of the climate bar to open Climate view in the center dis- play.
2. Select the
Parking climate tab.
3. Tap
Keep climate comfort.
> The climate comfort retaining function will be activated/deactivated and the button light will go on/off.
NOTE
Maintained climate comfort is not possible when there is not sufficient residual engineheat to maintain the climate settings in thepassenger compartment, or if the outsidetemperature is above approximately 20 °C(68 °F).
NOTE
Climate comfort maintenance will be deac- tivated if the vehicle is locked from the out-side in order to avoid using residual engineheat unnecessarily. This function isintended to be used to maintain climatecomfort when the driver or a passengerremains in the vehicle after the engine isturned off.

Activating and deactivating the auxiliary heater The auxiliary heater helps heat the passenger compartment and engine while driving.
It is possible to set whether automatic start for the auxiliary heater should be activated ordeactivated. 1.Tap
Settings in the Top view in the center
display.
2. Tap

3. Select
Additional Heater to activate/
deactivate automatic start for the auxiliary heater.
NOTE
If automatic start of the auxiliary heater is deactivated, this may impair comfort in thepassenger compartment since the climatesystem then does not have a heat sourceduring electrical operation.

Starting and stopping the combustion engine in Twin Enginevehicles An advanced control system determines the distance that the vehicle can be driven on thecombustion engine, electric motor, or both atthe same time. When driving on only theelectric motor, the vehicle may automaticallystart the combustion engine due to outsidecircumstances, e.g. low ambient tempera-tures. This is completely normal. The com-bustion engine will also always start whenthe hybrid battery is nearly fully discharged.
Climate settings at low temperaturesAt low ambient temperatures, the combustion engine will sometimes start automatically tohelp achieve the desired passenger compart-ment temperature and air quality. The amountof time the combustion engine is running canbe affected by lowering the temperature
reducing blower speed
activating
Pure drive mode.
Using the electric motor in hot or cold
weather
At very low or high ambient temperatures, the electric motor's driving range and power maybe reduced and affect how often the combus-tion engine automatically starts.
Emission control systemTo help ensure that the emission control sys-tem is as energy-efficient as possible, thecombustion engine will run for several minutesafter it is started. The amount of time the com-bustion engine needs to be used variesdepending on the temperature of the three-way catalytic converter.
WARNING
California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas- senger vehicle can expose you to chemi-cals including engine exhaust, carbon mon-oxide, phthalates, and lead, which areknown to the State of California to causecancer and birth defects or other reproduc-tive harm. To minimize exposure, avoidbreathing exhaust, do not idle the engineexcept as necessary, service your vehicle ina well ventilated area and wear gloves orwash your hands frequently when servicingyour vehicle.

Drive modes
Drive modes affect the vehicle's driving cha- racteristics in different ways to enhance andsimplify the driving experience in certaintypes of situations.
Drive modes enable easy access to the vehi- cle's many functions and settings in differentdriving situations. Each drive mode is adaptedto help optimize driving characteristics. Steering

Pure
Uses the electric motor only, with the low- est possible energy consumption and car-bon dioxide emissions.
This drive mode prioritizes the use of the hybrid battery. Ground clearance is lowered 7
to reduce air resistance and certain climate system functions are reduced to provide thelongest possible driving distance using onlyelectricity.
Pure mode is available when the hybrid bat-
tery is sufficiently charged. Even in Puremode, the combustion engine will start if the charge level in the battery gets too low. Thecombustion engine will also start
if the vehicle's speed goes above125 km/h (78 mph)
if the driver requests more power than theelectric motor can provide
if factors such as cold weather affect thesystem or components.
This drive mode is adapted for the longestpossible driving distance with electric propul-sion and is primarily intended for use in city driving.
Pure helps provide the lowest possi-
ble consumption even when the hybrid battery is fully discharged. ECO climate is activated tocontrol the climate in the passenger compart-ment, and in slippery road conditions slightly more wheel spin may be permitted before all-wheel drive is automatically activated.
ECO Climate
In Pure mode, ECO climate is automatically
activated in the passenger compartment to help reduce energy consumption.
NOTE
When the Pure drive mode is activated,
settings for certain climate system and electricity consuming functions arereduced. Some of these settings can bereset manually, but full functionality will only be restored by leaving
Pure mode or
adapting the Individual drive mode to full
climate system functionality.
If condensation forms on the windows, tap the max defroster button, which will function nor-mally.
Off Road
Prioritizes the vehicle's ability to traverse difficult terrain or poor roads.
In this mode, ground clearance 7
is high, steer-
ing is light, and all-wheel drive and HillDescent Control are activated. This drive mode is only available at low speeds, up to 40 km/h (25 mph). If this speed is exceeded,
Off Road mode will be cancelled
and Constant AWD mode will be activated
instead. All-wheel drive requires both the combustion and electric motor to be in continuous opera-tion, which results in higher fuel consumption. In
Off Road mode, a compass will be dis-
played between the speedometer and the tachometer in the instrument panel. The per-missible speed range will be shown in thespeedometer.

Using the electric or combustion engine
An advanced control system determines the distance that the vehicle can be driven on thecombustion engine, electric motor, or both atthe same time. Its primary function is to use the motor/engine and the current available in the hybrid batteryas efficiently as possible based on the charac-teristics of the various drive modes and thepower output requested by the driver bypressing the accelerator pedal. In certain cases, temporary limitations in the system or mandatory functions to help main- tain a low overall emissions level may result in greater use of the combustion engine.

Factors affecting electric motor rangeA number of factors affect the electric motor's driving range. The ability to achieve along driving range varies according to theoutside conditions and to how the vehicle isdriven.
The certified value for the distance that can be driven using the electric motor should not beconsidered an expected driving range. Theactual range is dependent on a number of fac-tors.
Factors affecting driving rangeThe driver can influence some factors affectingdriving range, but not all. The longest range is achieved under very favorable conditions when all factors positivelyinfluence range.
Factors the driver cannot control
There are several outside conditions that affect range to varying degrees:
the current traffic situation
driving short distances
topography
ambient temperature and headwinds
road conditions and road surface.
The table shows the approximate relationshipbetween ambient temperature and driving range with normal climate settings and withclimate settings turned off. Up to a certain limit, warmer ambient temper- atures increase the electric motor's drivingrange.
