Remote Start System Behavior: Notes

When the remote start feature is used, the heated steering wheel system may be configured, through the message center, to be activated by the HVAC module based on outside air temperature. During remote start, the outside air temperature is continually evaluated by the HVAC system and the heated steering wheel system activation changes if the outside air changes from cold to moderate or warm temperatures or back from moderate or warm to cold temperatures.

For cold ambient air temperatures (below 10°C (50°F)) the heated steering wheel activates if the Steering Wheel is set to Auto in the IPC  message center.

For moderate and warm ambient air temperatures (above 10°C (50°F)) the heated steering wheel does not activate.
