WARNING Dangertolife due toexpo‐
sure toextreme heat or cold in theve hi‐
cle
If people, particular lych ildren, are exposed
to extreme temp eratures over an extended
pe riod of time, there is a risk of serious
injury or danger tolife. #
Never lea vepersons, children in partic‐
ular, unat tended in theve hicle. The
vehicle interior can be air conditioned when
th eve hicle is par ked.
When theve hicle is connected topowe r supply
equipment, priority is given tocharging the high-
vo ltage battery toa specified minimum charge. The
running time of pre-entry clima tecontrol
may be reduced under thefo llowing conditions:
R The vehicle is not connected topowe r supp ly
equipment.
R The high-voltage battery is not charge d suf fi‐
ciently.
Wi th active pre-ent ryclimate control, thech arge
le ve l of the high-voltage battery may be reduced,
eve n if thech arging cable connec tor is connec‐
te d.
Fo r cooling, thefo llowing functions are activated
as needed:
R Automatic clima tecontrol
R Blower
R Seat ventilation
Fo r heating, thefo llowing functions are activated
