~1min read
Heat stored in the engine is used to heat the cabin with the ignition off, for example while stopped at a railway crossing.
Automatic climate control settings can be changed with the ignition key in position 1. With the ignition key in position 0, warmed air is automatically supplied to the windshield, side windows and footwell.
This function can be used when the outside temperature is below 156, the engine is warm and the battery charge is sufficient. If these conditions are met, the LED in the button lights up.
