Remote Start Climate Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Different climate control modes/preferences can be selected when the vehicle is started using the remote start feature. This can be accessed through the message center. For additional information on how to set the remote start preferences, refer to the Owner's Literature. When the driver seat and/or passenger seat is set to AUTO mode, the driver/passenger heated seat activates in full heat mode when the outside temperature is less than 0° C (32° F) any time the vehicle is started using the remote start feature. No heated seat adjustments are recognized during remote start operation.
