Remote start (ERS)*
Remote start (ERS – Engine Remote Start)
means that the car's engine can be started
remotely in order to warm up/cool down the
passenger compartment before departure.
ERS is activated via key and/or via Volvo On
Call*.
The climate control starts with the same set-
tings that were being used when the car was
parked.
An ERS-started engine is activated for a
maximum of 15 minutes, then it is switched
off. After two ERS-activations the engine
must be started in the normal way before
ERS can be re-used.
ERS is only available in cars with automatic
gearbox and cars that have a bonnet switch
4
installed.
NOTE
The service life of the remote control key's
battery is affected by the ERS function. In
the event of frequent use of ERS the bat-
tery should therefore be changed once per
year, see Remote control key - replacing
the battery (p. 167).
NOTE
Follow local/national rules/regulations on
idling. Also take into account the local/
national rules/regulations regarding the
noise level when the engine is running.
WARNING
To remote-start the engine, the following
criteria must be met:
•
The car must be supervised.
•
There must be no people or animals
inside or around the car.
•
The car must not be parked in a
closed, unventilated area - the exhaust
gases may seriously injure humans
and animals.
