Remote Start Rear Window Defrost Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The customer can select different climate control modes/preferences when the vehicle is started using the remote start feature. This can be accessed through the message center. For additional information on setting the remote start preferences, refer to the Owner's Literature. When the climate control mode is set to AUTO, the rear window defrost activates when the outside temperature is less than 0°C (32°F) and the vehicle is started using the remote start feature. No climate control adjustments are recognized during remote start operation. If the rear window defrost is active during the remote start, it remains active when the ignition is cycled to the ON position.
