Germany 2019 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Montalcino Red
Pre-Heat Car - cold mornings

Hello
So today it was -7 when I went to the car. I had presses the remote heater button about 30 minutes before. I could see the LEd flashing every few seconds. But when I got to the car i could see the car had warmed up a bit, but it had stopped before I got in.
I could see a small spot on the windscreen had cleared I am talking 1or 2 cm
In my last car in that time the same time the inside of the car was even getting warm and the blower was running air on to the screen

Am I doing something wrong or am I expecting to much...

Thanks SDV8 AB MY 2020

Yes... As I hadn't driven the car for a couple of days I couldn't use the app. So I used the remote... SDV8 AB MY 2020

The car salesman said it could be the battery. So I am connecting the CTech charger overnight.
It could be correct as on the connector I attached to the battery posts is flashing red. I will see where I am in the morning. SDV8 AB MY 2020

Mine did the same after not using the car much for a couple of weeks other than local journeys and I believe it switches off to protect the battery, a low battery would make sense. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

I agree with the above. It does sound like the battery. Please report back after you've charged it up. It will be interesting to know if charging resolved the issue. Kev
