Remote Start - Message Center Set To Last User Settings

This vehicle is equipped with a remote start 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 it utilizes, REFER to STARTING SYSTEM - WITHOUT INTELLIGENT ACCESS , Remote Start (vehicles without Intelligent Access (IA)) or REFER to STARTING SYSTEM - WITH INTELLIGENT ACCESS , Remote Start (vehicles with Intelligent Access (IA)).

When the remote start feature is used, the climate control system automatically sets certain parameters in an attempt to achieve a comfortable cabin temperature. These parameters are set based on outside air temperature. During remote start, the outside air temperature is continually evaluated and HVAC  system behavior can change if the outside air changes between cold, moderate and warm temperatures.

• the airflow mode is set to the last user setting if Front Defrost is set to Off in the message center.
• the airflow mode is set to DEFROST if Front Defrost is set to Auto in the message center.
• the temperature is set to the last user setting.
• the blower speed is set to the last user setting.
• the air inlet mode is set to the last user setting.
• A/C is set to the last user setting.

For moderate and warm ambient air temperatures as determined by the HVAC  module AUTO mode to request heat or cooling:

• the airflow mode is set to the last user setting.
• the temperature is set to the last user setting.
• the blower speed is set to the last user setting.
• the air inlet mode is set to the last user setting.
