Remote Start Climate Operation (if equipped)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the vehicle is started using the remote start feature and the outside temperature is less than 0°C (32°F), the rear window defrost and heated mirrors will be activated. No climate control adjustments are recognized during remote start operation. Once the ignition is cycled to the ON position, the climate control system returns to the previous settings (last ignition-ON cycle) and adjustments can be made normally. If the previous setting was off, the climate control turns off. For additional information about remote start operation, refer to STARTING SYSTEM - GASOLINE ENGINES or STARTING SYSTEM - DIESEL ENGINES or the Owner's Literature.
