I’m trying to understand the purpose of the precool/heat button in the lower center console.
I fully get the benefit of precooling or preheating from the Connect App or with using a departure timer but what is the purpose of the button? I’f I’m sitting in the car while it is stationary wouldn’t I just run the climate control as normal until I shut off the car and leave? If I’m not in the vehicle I would just start the precool/heat from the app.
Is the only reason to push the button on the center console for when you park and exit the vehicle (so you want to shut the car off) but you want to maintain the temperature for when you come back within the next hour?
