You can turn this feature on or off and adjust the settings using the information display controls.

The climate control system regulates the cabin temperature during remote start.

You cannot adjust the climate control settings during a remote start operation. Turn the ignition on to make adjustments.

Depending on the remote start settings, the following vehicle-dependent features may or may not remain on after remote starting your vehicle:

  • Climate-controlled seats.
  • Heated steering wheel.
  • Heated mirrors.
  • Rear window defroster.
  • Wiper de-icer.

Note: For dual-zone automatic climate control, the passenger seat settings default to match the driver seat settings during remote start.

Automatic Settings

If Auto is on, the system sets the cabin temperature to 72°F (22°C) and heats or cools the vehicle interior as needed to achieve comfort.

Last Settings

If Last Settings is on, the system uses the settings that were last selected before you turned off the vehicle.

Heating and Cooling Features

In Auto mode, some heating features may turn on in cold weather, and cooling features in hot weather.
