Pre-conditioning was interrupted.....
So, first frosty morning of the season.
Remembered to trigger the parking climate from my phone, hoping to defrost the car and feel very warm and smug infront of the neighbours. It ran for about 2 mins and then gave the error "Pre-conditioning was interrupted to preserve a high battery charge level". So I had to go and find the ice scraper in the garage and do it the old school way. Any ideas? My 400v battery was quite low (in fact the engine started to reverse the car on the drive last night which is unusual) so I think it was very low, could this be why? Or any other reason? Cheers

You should see a message on the driver display (attached) but I don't know how long it remains visible. _

If you have the car plugged in overnight and the pre-conditioning set for a certain time in the morning and assuming it charges up overnight ie before warming the car for you would it automatically top up the charge again so that you always drive off with full charge..

I tried this over last two days.
First time I kept about 1/3rd in in the 400v battery. Parking climate worked fine. Last night I kept just a little, maybe 1/16th in the 400v battery. Worked fine also. It hasn't been quite as cold on these two occasions, but I can only assume that on the occasion of the fault I had drained the 400v battery to be just too low.

You can control how much is left by using the charge and hold tabs in the sensus screen. If you run in Hybrid all the time and do normal journeys it usually leaves something like 1/16 in the battery on turning off. If you run in pure it will pretty much suck the battery dry before starting the engine. In this circumstance I reckon pre-conditioning will then fail the next morning.

Thanks - and is this battery different to the 'main' battery, or are they one and the same thing?
If you leave the car plugged in overnight, wouldn't all the batteries get charged up sufficiently before the morning / time to start pre-conditioning the car? |
