How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    Set the desired cabin temperature, then open Climate Menu > Pre-entry Climate Ctrl. in MBUX.

  2. 02

    Choose ONCE and enter one departure time, or choose WEEK PROFILE and create the recurring days and times.

  3. 03

    Open the zone or seat settings and select the occupants whose available seat heating or ventilation should be included.

  4. 04

    Activate the schedule and confirm the selected departure time is displayed.

  5. 05

    When practical, leave the vehicle connected to charging equipment so cabin conditioning uses grid power instead of reducing driving range.

Important limits

  • Never leave children or vulnerable occupants unattended, even while climate control is running.
  • Run time can be reduced when the high-voltage battery is insufficiently charged or the vehicle is unplugged.
  • Active conditioning can reduce battery state of charge even when a connector is inserted.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If conditioning does not start, verify the battery has sufficient charge and the schedule is activated.
  • ✓Check that the correct weekday and departure time are selected in the active profile.
  • ✓If a seat does not heat or ventilate, confirm that seat was selected and the vehicle has the corresponding equipment.
