Remote Start Climate Operation (if equipped)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. 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 information on how to set the remote start preferences, refer to the Owner's Literature. When the rear defrost is set to AUTO mode, 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. 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 system turns off.
