Step by step.
- 01
Open the charging Schedule screen and select Create Schedule; create a Home Location when prompted if none exists.
- 02
Select each day that should use this schedule, then set the desired charge level.
- 03
Choose the time by which the OPTIQ should reach that level and enable Preconditioning if the cabin should heat or cool using charger energy.
- 04
Select Save & Close and make sure the Home Charge Schedule toggle remains on.
- 05
Plug in at the saved Home Location and verify the Schedule screen shows the intended active plan.
Important limits
- A weekday cannot belong to two schedules at once; unassign it from the current schedule before adding it to another.
- On unassigned days the vehicle begins charging to 80% when plugged in unless the Next Charge screen specifies otherwise.
Quick checks.
- ✓If a schedule does not run, confirm the vehicle recognizes the saved Home Location and the Home Charge Schedule master toggle is on.
- ✓If GPS is unavailable after a long power-off period or battery disconnect, drive the vehicle and retry after location service resumes.
