Is there a way to have the heated seats turn on automagically when using remote start?
Thanks!
yes, BUT when you get in the vehicle and 'start' the vehicle, you will need to select 'heat seats' again....
i'm going off of memory, but if you go to the left menu on the front display, go to driver settings, then heated seats, then you have the option to either 'last setting' or 'auto'.
JStellato,
You can set the heated seats to AUTO in the message center so they turn on when the Explorer is remote started (like bluelion mentioned).
The following tip can also be found on pages 69/70 of the 2012 Explorer Owner Guide 2nd Printing under the REMOTE START CLIMATE OPERATION section:
“Automatic climate control:
For hot weather conditions:
• The interior cabin will be set to 72°F (22°C).
• The cooled seats (if equipped and if the feature is selected to AUTO
in the message center) will be set to high.
For cold weather conditions:
• The interior cabin will be set to 72°F (22°C).
• The heated seats (if equipped and if the feature is selected to AUTO
in the message center) will be set to high.
• Rear defrost/heated mirrors (if equipped) will be activated.”
