Remote start - ERS*
General information on ERS
Remote start (ERS – Engine Remote Start)
means that the car's engine can be started
remotely using the remote control key or the
PCC key. This is so that the passenger com-
partment can be warmed up/cooled down
before departure.
The climate control system and audio system
start with the same settings that were in use
when the car was parked.
An ERS-started engine is activated for a
maximum of 15 minutes, then it is switched
off. After two ERS-activations the engine
must be started in the normal way before
ERS can be re-used.
The ERS function is only available on cars
with petrol engine and automatic gearbox.
NOTE
The service life of the remote control key's
battery is affected by the ERS function. In
the event of frequent use of ERS the bat-
tery should therefore be changed once per
year (see page 50).
NOTE
Follow local/national rules/regulations on
idling.
WARNING
To remote-start the engine, the following
criteria must be met:
•
The car must be supervised
•
There must be no people or animals
inside the car
•
The car must not be parked in a
closed, unventilated area - the exhaust
gases may seriously injure humans
and animals.
