S80, XC70: 30659697

As with all software downloads, be sure customer settings are recorded and reinstalled.

ECM software:
It may not be possible to purchase the ERS software if the ECM does not contain the latest software. If this occurs, upgrade the ECM software before proceeding.

After VIDA has downloaded the ERS software:
1. Start the engine the normal way by pressing the start button (not by ERS)
2. Turn off the engine.
3. Lock the vehicle.
4. Wait for about 5 minutes until the vehicle has gone to sleep-mode.
5. Start the engine with the ERS according to the instruction below.
If the engine does not start, go back to step 3.

To start the engine with ERS:
1. Press the Lock button on the remote control.
2. As soon as the vehicle has locked, press and hold the Approach light button (the button with the light symbol) for more than 2 seconds. The hazard warning flashers will flash for a few seconds and then the engine will start.

To turn the engine off after an ERS start:
Press the lock or the unlock button on the remote control.

ERS will not function if:
- The vehicle is in transport mode.
- The fuel level is low.
- The vehicle battery voltage is low.
- The engine coolant level is low.
- A fault is detected by the engine management system.
- The vehicle is not locked (all doors and the trunk/tailgate must be closed to lock the vehicle).
- Two consecutive ERS starts have already been performed. If a 3rd ERS start is attempted the hazard warning flashers will flash for 30 seconds and a message will be displayed in the DIM.

Checking the ERS status using the remote:
For PCC remotes, the user can check whether ERS has started by pressing the Information button. If ERS has started, a light illuminates on the button for Approach lighting and the lock button. This function is available on model year 2013 remotes but not model year 2012 remotes. This function can be enabled on 2012 XC60/XC70/S80 vehicles by replacing the original remotes with 2013 remotes. This function can not be enabled on 2012 S60 vehicles.

Note:
ERS installation is an accessory and not a matter for warranty.
