Parking climate issue
On my Volvo On Call App, every time that I try the parking climate feature, it doesn't work.
I read a lot of topics regarding this issue from the XC90 and XC60 models from 2018 and since my car was manufactured on the 5th of December 2018, I was led to believe that any of these issues might have been solved by Volvo. Still, every time I try the feature it doesn't work. I have a D4 version and I get on the app the message: "Parking climate failed to start" and on the car I get the message "Parking climate temporarily unavailable". Any help or suggestion is appreciated. |

To ask the obvious question, did you specify the auxiliary heater option? If not, Parking Climate on the app won't work.
EDIT: Perhaps the aux heater option is only available on XC90s? My D5 has it.

It is standard in T8 but it exists as an option for XC60. I think what changes depending on the market, is whether the heater runs with combustible

It is not an option for the UK market.

to be honest I don't know - and I had the same problem on my 2017 S90 D5. I asked the dealer to investigate and they said battery not charged enough, they charged and it worked. But doesn't now - and neither does the star/stop most of the time as I'm not using the car enough to keep the battery full.
I think remote start is supposed to run any heating controls as they were last set, so the parking climate (pre conditioning) does what in addition, I don't know. I hope that if the option was simply not available in your car the on call app would have it greyed out.

Without the aux heater I'm not sure it does anything other than ventilating the car on a hot day by turning on the climate fans. Even that may depend upon the aux heater being fitted despite it not actually being required as such. There used to a software option to enable remote ventilation on cars without the aux heater. I don't know if it's still available. Remote venting is actually quite effective and preferable to using ERS to run the aircon. Quote:

I have Parking Climate on my T8 and of course the Aux Heater that works 95% of the time from the app, if the car is plugged in or not.
Sometimes I have to start it twice, as I get low fuel warning message back, as a notification, so just restart it, and it generally works the 2nd time, of course it is dependant on wi fi or phone signal, and possible though not confirmed if you park the car to close to the right hand side of the car like a wall or objects. It is very efficient, only really needing 5 minutes to warm up the cabin, so far never had to use it out side after car has iced right over etc. So far even now the options have been added to the app yet to see the seats and steering wheel heat up, but after 5 minutes the car is so warm you do not need seats or steering wheel to be heated. Down side is I park car in garage, and essentially once it has started you are filling up the garage with fumes, so I have to open the garage door, luckily for me it is on a remote that can be done from the house, but not something I like doing, or would want to do if I lived in a place where all or sundry can see the door open. I would say it is not that quiet either, in fact quite noisy, but then that does not bother me. I have not found a button in the car though that will start it will sitting in the car, so if anyone knows how to fire it up when stationary, I use the app which is a little annoying when in the car. if it is an optional extra assuming not to expensive it is worth every penny this time of the year.

You can start the Aux heater on the T8 with the engine off by selecting the preconditioning button in the parking climate menu. The heated seats and steering wheel heat also come on as per the checkboxes but the Aux heater will only be activated if it detects the interior temperature below a set threshold (which I think is a fixed 20 degrees - someone can correct me on that figure!). I use this all the time stopped, parked up waiting to pick up my daughter after work waiting in a cold outside car park!

Parking climate on anything but a T8 or a vehicle fitted with cabin heater in cold weather will do nothing from the app. When you are inside it will maintain the cabin temperature using residual heat.
Summer months it will vent the cabin with cool air. If you have the auto seat heat set it wil come on if you remote start, and the fans will attempt to get the cabin temperature up....but in reality the engine will need to run for at least 10 mins minimum to get any heat. |
