REMOTE START COMFORT
SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED
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 programmed in the Comfort menu screen
within Uconnect Settings
page 145. In warm
weather, the driver vented seat feature will automati-
cally turn on when Remote Start is activated, if pro-
grammed in the Comfort menu screen. The vehicle will
adjust the climate control settings depending on the
outside ambient temperature.
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) — If Equipped
The climate controls will automatically adjust 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 of 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 of 78°F (26°C) or above,
the climate settings will default to MAX A/C, Bi-Level
mode, with Recirculation on.
For more information on ATC, MTC, and climate control
settings, see
page 62.
NOTE:
These features will stay on through the duration of
Remote Start, or until the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position. The climate control settings will
change, and exit the automatic defaults, if manually
adjusted by the driver while the vehicle is in Remote
Start mode. This includes turning the climate controls
off using the OFF button.
REMOTE START WINDSHIELD
WIPER DE-ICER ACTIVATION —
IF EQUIPPED
When Remote Start is active and the outside ambient
temperature is less than 33°F (0.6°C), the Windshield
Wiper De-Icer will activate. Exiting Remote Start will
resume its previous operation. If the Windshield Wiper
De-Icer was active, the timer and operation will
continue.
REMOTE START ABORT MESSAGE —
IF EQUIPPED
One of the following messages will display in the instru-
ment cluster display if the vehicle fails to remote start
or exits Remote Start prematurely:
•
Remote Start Canceled — Door Open
•
Remote Start Canceled — Hood Open
•
Remote Start Canceled — Liftgate/Swing Gate/
Trunk Open
•
Remote Start Canceled — Fuel Low
•
Remote Start Canceled — Time Expired
•
Remote Start Canceled — System Fault
•
Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle to Reset
The instrument cluster display message stays active
until the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
SCHEDULED CABIN CONDITIONING
(SCC) — IF EQUIPPED (PHEV ONLY)
This feature allows the driver to pre-condition (warm up
or cool down) the passenger cabin based on a planned
departure time. The target temperature is preset to the
same values used by the Remote Start feature. Unlike
Remote Start, the driver does not need to initiate the
cabin conditioning by pushing the Remote Start button,
instead, a programmed departure time will be used.
Also, all scheduled cabin conditioning will be powered
by the vehicle’s high voltage battery working in conjunc-
tion with any Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment
(EVSE) connected to the vehicle. Unlike Remote Start,
in SCC the vehicle’s gas engine will not start to provide
power or heat for cabin conditioning.
The SCC event times are used to wake up the vehicle so
that the Climate Control system can condition the pas-
senger cabin prior to the scheduled departure time.
Based on vehicle operating conditions, ambient tem-
perature, and the next programmed departure time, the
vehicle will determine when to begin cabin conditioning.
NOTE:
If the ambient temperature is less than 40 ° F (4.5 °C),
the vehicle’s front and rear defrosters and heated mir-
rors will also be activated during an Scheduled Cabin
Conditioning event.
The SCC will continue for a maximum of 15 minutes
after the scheduled departure time. The SCC feature
can be activated a second time after the first 15 min-
utes of conditioning have expired. After this second acti-
vation, the vehicle’s ignition must be placed in the
ON/RUN position to allow future activations.
