Engine Remote Start (ERS)* – switching off the engine

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.

Any of the following will switch off the engine if it has been started with ERS:

  • Pressing the lock button (1) or the unlock button (2) on the remote key
  • Unlocking the vehicle
  • Opening a door
  • Depressing the accelerator or brake pedal
  • Moving the gear selector from the P position
  • If there are less than approx. 2.5 gallons (10 liters) of fuel in the tank
  • More than 15 minutes have elapsed.

If the engine has been started with ERS and switches off, the turn signals will illuminate for 3 seconds.

Message in the instrument panel display

If ERS is interrupted, a text message will be displayed in the instrument panel.
