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

General information
The infotainment system consists of radio and
media player features and also makes it pos-
sible to communicate via a cell phone. The
information is displayed on a 7" screen in the
center console. Infotainment functions can be
controlled from the center console or via the
buttons on the steering wheel keypad. On
models equipped with the optional navigation
system, voice commands can also be used to
e.g., set destinations, make calls from a
Bluetooth
Ÿ-connected cell phone, etc.
If the infotainment system was on when the
ignition was switched off, the most recently
used source (
FM1, etc.) will restart the next
time the ignition is put in mode I or higher. The
driver's door must also be closed on vehicles
with keyless drive*.
The infotainment system can be operated for
15 minutes at a time while the engine is
switched off by pressing the On/Off button.
While the engine is being started, the infotain-
ment system will be temporarily interrupted
and will resume when the engine has started.
NOTE
To help avoid excessive battery drain,
remove the remote key from the ignition slot
if the infotainment system is used while the
engine is switched off.
