Engine Remote Start (ERS)* –
introduction
ERS is a feature that makes it possible to
remotely start the engine using the remote
key to cool or heat the passenger compart-
ment before driving.
The climate/ and infotainment systems will
start using the same settings as when the
engine was switched off.
When the engine is started using ERS, it will
run for a maximum of 15 minutes before
automatically switching off again. After 2 ERS
starts, the engine must be started in the nor-
mal way before ERS can be used again.
NOTE
•
Always adhere to applicable State,
Province and/or Local laws regarding
engine idling when using ERS.
•
The service life of the remote key's
battery is affected by ERS use. If this
feature is used frequently, the battery
should be replaced once a year, see
Remote key – replacing the battery
(p. 152).

ERS:
•
The vehicle should be in view.
•
The vehicle should be unoccupied.

The vehicle must not be parked
indoors or in an enclosed area.
