When remote start is activated, the front and
rear defrost will automatically turn on in cold
weather. The heated steering wheel and driver
heated seat feature will turn on if selected in
the comfort menu screen within Uconnect

driver vented seat feature will automatically
turn on when the remote start is activated and

depending on the outside ambient
temperature.
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) — If
Equipped
The climate controls will be automatically
adjusted to the optimal temperature and mode
settings depending on the outside ambient
temperature. This will occur until the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN position where the
climate controls will resume their previous
settings.
Manual Temperature Control (MTC) — If
Equipped
In ambient temperatures at 40°F (4.5°C) or
below, the climate settings will default to
maximum heat, with fresh air entering the
cabin. If the front defrost timer expires, the
vehicle will enter Mix Mode.
In ambient temperatures from 40°F (4.5°C)
to 78°F (26°C), the climate settings will be
based on the last settings selected by the
driver.
In ambient temperatures at 78°F (26°C) or
above, the climate settings will default to
MAX A/C, Bi-Level Mode, with Recirculation
on.

ON/RUN position. The climate control settings
will change if manually adjusted by the driver
while the vehicle is in remote start mode, and

button on the climate controls, which will turn
the system off.
