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-CELLE-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.
