Some
Global A architecture vehicles (2010 Camaro, LaCrosse, SRX, Equinox, Terrain) allow
the driver to configure the heated and ventilated seats (if equipped) to turn
on once a remote start is commanded.
TIP: Refer to the
Vehicle Personalization Climate and Air Quality menu settings using the audio
system controls to turn the remote start heated and vented seats feature
on/off.
The
heated seats will only operate if the outside air temperature is below 50ËšF (10ËšC)
as measured by the outside air temperature sensor. Seat ventilation will only
operate if the outside air temperature is above 80ËšF (27ËšC).
When
seat heating is commanded, the heating level will be set to the High setting. On
some vehicles, the LED display for the heating or ventilation level will not be
illuminated during remote start operation.
When
the key is inserted in the ignition and turned to the On position, the heated
seats will automatically turn off. If heated seat operation is desired after
the remote start, the heated seat will need to be activated manually by the
occupant.
Be
aware that during remote start heated seat operation, since there is no
occupant in the seat, the occupant may feel little or no difference in the
temperature of the seat. This condition is due to little heat transfer to the
seat cover since there is no weight on the cushion. With remote start still
active, once the seat is occupied and the seat cover is pressed against the
heater element, heat will begin to transfer more rapidly to the seat cover.
