Remote Start - Message Center Set To Last User Settings
Remote start is an optional feature. In addition to being able to start the vehicle remotely, the remote start feature also utilizes other vehicle systems to increase the level of comfort to the vehicle occupants upon entering the vehicle. For additional information on the remote start feature and the other vehicle systems, refer to the Owner's Literature.
Set the climate control to operate using the last climate control settings through the information display setting: Remote Start > Climate Control > Heater-A/C > Last Settings, refer to the Owner's Literature for more information.
When the factory remote start feature is used and the IPC message center is set to last user settings, the climate control system automatically uses the settings last selected before the vehicle was turned off. The climate control system cannot be adjusted during remote start operation. Turn the ignition on to return the system to its previous settings. Refer to the Owner's Literature for more information.
