Activating/deactivating the residual heat function
It is possible to make use of the residual heat of the engine to continue heating the stationary vehicle for up to 30 minutes after the engine has been switched off. The heating time depends on the temperature that has been set.
The blower will run at a low speed regardless of the airflow setting.
If you activate the residual heat function at high temperatures, only the ventilation

It is possible that the residual heat function may be activated automatically
an hour after the SmartKey is removed. The vehicle is then ventilated for 30 minutes
to dry the air-conditioning system.
