Remote Start System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The heated steering wheel system (along with the heated front seats) may be configured using the message center to activate when the remote start feature is used, based on outside air temperature. During remote start, the outside air temperature is continually evaluated by the HVAC system. 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.
