What does the system do?
A catalyst needs an appropriate temperature to work effectively. Cold-start control influences combustion and exhaust heat to reach that state sooner.

Catalyst Heating – Warm-up strategy
How catalyst warm-up supports effective exhaust treatment after starting and what a change to this strategy concerns.

Function, changes and requirements
What does the option mean?
The entry concerns that heating strategy, not an engine preheater or a general cold-start repair. A quieter start can alter exhaust warm-up.
What do we check on your vehicle?
We identify the original strategy and catalyst, then assess cold-start emissions and the proposed behaviour. The exact control unit, software version, fitted hardware and intended use determine the scope. A configurator entry does not replace this assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Does every vehicle support this function?
No. We check the vehicle, control unit and software against the actual supported function. Include existing faults and modifications. Transmission functions also require the exact gearbox version.
Does selecting an option approve its use?
No. Changes to emissions, noise or protection functions can affect legal use and operating safety. This page promises no road approval; diagnosis and a permissible repair are considered first.
