Preconditioning Function on the Mini Electric or Plug-in

Model: Mini Mini Countryman3, U25 - Years 2024-2026
Part: Air conditioner

In this video, we will see how to use the very useful pre-conditioning function on the Mini electric or plug-in hybrid. On these versions, it is possible to programme the temperature conditioning inside the vehicle, whether for heating or cooling, so that you find the car at the right temperature when you start. From the screen, you can access the "my Mini" function and select the "climate control schedule". From here, choose "set departure times" and you can select various options and set them for different days of the week. If you do not have the car at hand, you can perform this same operation from the dedicated mobile app.
