mrmikel Posted January 21, 2016 at 03:04 AM Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 at 03:04 AM It's been really cold here lately, so I have been using my remote start. From what I have been reading, the heated seats should be turning on when I do a remote start. But they are not. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbob Posted January 21, 2016 at 03:40 AM Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 at 03:40 AM The heated seats don't come on during remote start on the C-Max. Where did you read that they would come on in the Fusion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russael Posted January 21, 2016 at 12:55 PM Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 at 12:55 PM They can be turned on in your left instrument cluster screen under settings. There's a remote start option in there (I believe under vehicle), and you can have that set to off or auto. Same for the passenger seat. It'll only run the seat heater on low to take the chill off, so it won't be toasty, but it won't be "stick to it cold" either. :) Hybridbear and jeff_h 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I get into the started car, the heated seats show as not turned on. Perhaps they ARE on the low setting, and the MFT just doesn't display them as on?? I will have to pay attention to the seats next time to see if they ARE on but just not showing as on. Such fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seat heaters don't stay on, so after you start the car you will need to turn them back on. Hybridbear and Russael 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you have heated/cooled seats the seats don't get all that warm even when you have them on high, so in really cold weather the seats may feel cold even if they were being heated on low during the remote start.
