P-Comfort
Keep climate and screens on while parked - P-Comfort replaces XPARK from XOS 5.9.5.
Applies to XOS 5.9.5+ · European reference behaviour
AC and screens stay on without XPARK’s 60-minute cap. In XOS 5.9.5, XPARK is replaced by P-Comfort - with occupant detection, in-car or app control, and longer runtime.
Details below reflect European 5.9.5 behaviour. Your market, trim, or software version may differ.
XPARK vs P-Comfort
| XPARK (before 5.9.5) | P-Comfort (5.9.5+) | |
|---|---|---|
| Runtime | Up to 60 minutes per session | Can run down to ~5% battery - no fixed time cap |
| Activation | App only | In-car or app |
| Occupant detection | No - manual only | Yes - can detect people still inside |
| When is it enabled? | Before you leave the car | Manual anytime; automatic after lock if occupants are detected in the car |
| Anti-theft alarm | Does not arm - same as temporary parking | Does not arm - opening a door from inside does not trigger the alarm |
When you leave the car
After the driver locks the car, if the system detects that passengers may still be inside, P-Comfort enters a 5-minute wait state - AC and screens stay on, but the feature is not yet running continuously.
- Driver leaves and locks the car
- Passengers may be in the car
- P-Comfort runs for 5 minutes
- Someone confirms on the main screen or in the app
- P-Comfort switches to continuous mode (no XPARK 60-minute cap)
If nobody confirms within 5 minutes, the feature turns off and the car follows normal lock and power-off behaviour (AC and screen turn off). The 5 minutes are a confirmation step that balances passenger comfort and safety against false detection and unintended long-running climate or entertainment use.
Tip - use manual P-Comfort: If you already know someone will stay in the car (passengers, children, pets), enable P-Comfort manually before you leave. The car should then enter continuous mode directly and skip the 5-minute confirmation - especially useful in hot weather.
Alarm while P-Comfort is on
Like XPARK and temporary parking, the vehicle does not arm the usual anti-theft alarm while P-Comfort is active. Someone still inside can open a door from the inside without the alarm going off - by design, so passengers are not trapped or startled. When P-Comfort ends and the car fully locks, normal alarm behaviour returns.
Bottom line
P-Comfort is essentially XPARK evolved: longer runtime, in-car control, occupant awareness, and a short confirmation step when the car thinks people may still be inside.
