Introduction

The stationary air conditioning allows the vehicle interior to be cooled, ventilated or heated while stationary. In winter the windshield can be cleared of ice, fog, and a thin layer of snow. The stationary air conditioning is powered via a mains socket or by the vehicle high-voltage battery.

You can program and control the stationary air conditioning in the Infotainment system and using an app on your cell phone.

On the Internet you can find information about the app, about prerequisites for use and availability, as well as compatible end devices.

NOTICE

Food, medication, and objects that are sensitive to heat or cold can become damaged or unusable from the air coming out of the vents.

• Do not place any food, medication, or other objects that are sensitive to temperature in front of the vents.

If you use stationary air conditioning without a charging cable connected, the vehicle range will decrease. In extreme outside temperatures, the heating and cooling power of the stationary air conditioning function may not be sufficient to reach the preset desired temperature.
