Manually activating battery preconditioning

Before starting DC fast charging, you can activate battery preconditioning in the charging view. This can improve charging performance and efficiency, especially in cold conditions.

Activating battery preconditioning before DC charging means that the battery will reach the ideal temperature for maximum charging speed, leading to a reduced charging time.

Tip

Battery preconditioning automatically activates when a DC fast charging station has been set as your destination in the navigation app.
  1. Press the vehicle symbol in the bottom bar and go to Charging.
  2. Press Precondition battery.
  3. Press Start.
    Battery preconditioning is active for approximately 30 minutes and then automatically deactivates. The remaining time and status of preconditioning are shown in the center display.

Press Stop preconditioning if you want to deactivate the preconditioning manually.
