introduction
ERS is a feature that makes it possible to
remotely start the engine using the remote key to
cool or heat the passenger compartment before
driving.
The climate system will start using automatic set-
tings.
When the engine is started using ERS, it will run
for a maximum of 15 minutes before automati-
cally 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, Prov-
ince and/or Local laws regarding engine
idling when using ERS.
•
The service life of the remote key's bat-
tery 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. 151).

Keep the following in mind before using ERS:
•
The vehicle should be in view.
•
The vehicle should be unoccupied.
•
The vehicle must not be parked indoors
or in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes are
harmful to the health.
