Remote Vehicle Start This vehicle may have a remote starting feature that allows you to start the engine from outside the vehicle. It may also start the vehicle's automatic climate control system. When the remote start system is active, the climate control system heats and cools the inside of the vehicle according to the previous settings of the system before turning the vehicle off. The windshield defroster and/or rear window defogger turn on if it is cold outside. If the vehicle has heated seats, they also turn on if the interior or exterior temperature is cold enough. See Heated and Ventilated Seats on page 1-7 for additional information. Normal operation of the climate control system returns after the ignition is turned to ON/RUN. See Dual Climate Control System on page 3-24. 3.
