Hi Cwerda,
Thanks for the help and pointers
I had read the manual pages you mention, but I could not figure out how to pre-heat ad-hoc.
As in, "car, go through the pre-heat NOW, please."
This is analogous (in my mind anyway) to setting the charge timer but then telling the car to not wait this time around.
Failing that choice, can she turn on the types of heating she wants while the car is plugged in but not charging ?
Does she simply turn the car on* (but not ready to drive), even though the charger is plugged in ?
Does she have to remember to press the power button while the foot is not on the brake ? My wife is a creature of habit, and will not take well to having to remember different start-up sequences for heating Vs driving.
* I have forgotten the correct terms. In an ICE the accessories are ON but the ICE is not. One click turn of the key, not two.
