Step by step.
- 01
Open Vehicle > Climate > Climate Features in the infotainment system.
- 02
Turn on A/C Automatic Drying and operate the air conditioner normally during the trip.
- 03
Turn the vehicle off and leave the climate controls untouched; when battery and outside-temperature conditions are met, the blower starts after about 30 minutes.
- 04
Expect the cycle to stop automatically after roughly 10 minutes.
Important limits
- The cycle requires sufficient battery level and a suitable outside temperature.
- Remote climate operation or restarting the vehicle stops the drying cycle.
Quick checks.
- ✓If it does not run, confirm the setting is enabled and the A/C operated long enough before shutdown.
- ✓A missed cycle can be normal when battery charge or ambient temperature is outside the operating range.
