Remote Start Climate Operation (if equipped)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. 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 (gasoline) or STARTING SYSTEM - DIESEL ENGINES (diesel) or the Owner's Literature.
