Remote Start - Message Center Set To Auto

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remote start is an optional feature available on this vehicle. In addition to being able to start the vehicle remotely, the remote start feature also utilizes other vehicle systems to increase the level of comfort to the vehicle occupants upon entering the vehicle. For additional information on the remote start feature and the other vehicle systems, refer to the Owner's Literature.

Set the climate control to operate in Auto mode through the information display controls: Remote Start > Climate Control > Heater-A/C > Auto. The climate control system automatically sets the interior temperature to 72°F (22°C). Refer to the Owner's Literature for more information.

When the factory remote start feature is used, the DATC system automatically sets certain parameters in an attempt to achieve a comfortable cabin temperature. These parameters are set based on multiple inputs including the in-vehicle temperature and humidity, sunload and outside air temperature sensors.
