Parking climate

Parking climate is an umbrella term for vari-
ous functions that improve the passenger
compartment climate when the vehicle is
parked, e.g. preconditioning.

Parking climate functions are con-
trolled from the

Parking climate

in the center display's Climate view.

Preconditioning

Preconditioning is a climate function that, if
possible, attempts to achieve a comfortable
temperature in the passenger compartment
before driving.

Preconditioning can be started immediately or
started at a preset time using a timer.

The function utilizes several of the vehicle's
systems:

•

In cold weather, the parking heater heats
the passenger compartment to a comfort-
able temperature.

•

In warm weather, air conditioning cools
the passenger compartment to a comfort-
able temperature.

•

The electrically heated steering wheel

and seats

can be activated.

•

Heating for the rear window and door mir-
rors is automatically activated as needed.

During preconditioning in a hot climate, con-
densation from the air conditions may drip
under the vehicle. This is normal.

Preconditioning is only available when the
vehicle is plugged into an electrical outlet.
A charging post that is not always active,
e.g. due to a timer, can prevent precondi-
tioning from functioning.

If the vehicle is not connected to an electri-
cal socket it is still possible in a warm cli-
mate to achieve brief cooling of the pas-
senger compartment by direct starting pre-
conditioning.

During preconditioning of the passenger
compartment, the vehicle works to reach a
comfortable temperature and not the tem-
perature set in the climate system.

The vehicle doors and windows should be
closed during preconditioning of the pas-
senger compartment.

preconditioning is complete.

Starting from app

A device with the Volvo On Call

app can be

used to start preconditioning or check set-
tings. Preconditioning heats or cools the pas-
senger compartment (using the vehicle's air
conditioning) to a comfortable temperature.

The passenger compartment can also be pre-
conditioned using the Engine Remote Start
(ERS)

function using the Volvo On Call

app.
