REMOTE START FRONT DEFROST
ACTIVATION — IF EQUIPPED
When Remote Start is active, and the outside ambient
temperature is 40°F (4.5°C) or below, the system will
automatically activate front defrost for 15 minutes or
less. The time is dependent on the ambient tempera-
ture. Once the timer expires, the system will automati-
cally adjust the settings depending on ambient condi-
tions. See “Remote Start Comfort Systems —
If Equipped” in the next section for detailed operation.
REMOTE START COMFORT
SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED
When Remote Start is activated, the front and rear
defrost will automatically turn on in cold weather condi-
tions. The heated steering wheel and driver heated seat
feature will also turn on if programmed in the Comfort
menu screen within Uconnect Settings
page 166.
In warm weather, the driver vented seat feature will
automatically turn on when Remote Start is activated, if
programmed in the Comfort menu screen. The vehicle
will adjust the climate control settings depending on
the outside ambient temperature.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is equipped with a rear climate system, it
will remain off to allow for optimal front row
performance.
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 53.
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 previous operation. If the Windshield Wiper
De-Icer was active, the Windshield Wiper De-Icer timer
and operation will continue.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors
for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unau-
thorized operation. When the system is activated, the
interior switches for door locks are disabled. The
Vehicle Security system provides both audible and vis-
ible signals. If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle
Security system will provide the following audible and
visible signals: the horn will pulse, the parking lights
and/or turn signals will flash, and the Vehicle Security
Light in the instrument cluster will flash.
