Engine Remote Start (ERS)*
Introduction
ERS is a feature that makes it possible to
remotely start the engine to cool or heat the
passenger compartment before driving.
The climate control system 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 automat-
ically switching off again. After 2 ERS starts,
the engine must be started in the normal way
before ERS can be used again.
NOTE
Always adhere to applicable State, Province
and or Local laws regarding engine idling
when using ERS.

Keep the following in mind before using ERS
•
The vehicle should be in view.
•
The vehicle should be unoccupied.

or in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes
are harmful to the health.
