Introduction of smart fortwo electric drive (3rd Generation) • Model Series 451
Pre-conditioning
As a special comfort feature, the vehicle interior
of the smart fortwo electric drive can be pre-
heated or pre-cooled. The pre-conditioning
function can be set using the multifunction
display.
Requirements:
• Charging cable plugged in and connected to
external power supply
• Charge level of high-voltage battery (SOC) at
least 30%
• Temperature in interior below 18 °C or above
24 °C
Pre-conditioning starts 35 minutes before
departure at the earliest and is maintained for a
maximum of 5 minutes after the programmed
departure time. The actual start of pre-condi-
tioning depends on the ambient temperature and
the temperature in the vehicle interior.
The high-voltage PTC heater is switched on at
interior temperatures below 18 °C. The heat
output is adjusted so that an interior temperature
of 18 °C is reached 5 minutes before the
programmed departure time.
The electric refrigerant compressor is switched
on at interior temperatures above 24 °C. The
cooling output is adjusted so that an interior
temperature of 24 °C is reached 5 minutes before
the programmed departure time.
The blower is always operated at stage 2 in this
case. The temperature preselected on the
heater/AC operating unit has no influence on pre-
conditioning.
The air distribution cannot be influenced by pre-
conditioning. The customer must set the air
distribution to the desired direction when the
vehicle is parked.
