Mekeri Report post Posted January 13, 2016 I can't seem to find a real answer to this at least not for the 2015 version. I have a Titanium 2015 edge with heated seats. This past week it has been around or below 20 degrees every morning. I remote start my car for a few minutes before getting in (generally not more than 5 minutes) and have yet to see the heated seats come on with the remote start. Does it have to stay on longer before they will turn on or are they not part of the remote start feature? In the MFT screen on the dash the heated seats are set to AUTO. Any info would be much appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knickerbocker Report post Posted January 13, 2016 First, check to see if the heated seats are enabled on the remote start menu: On the Left Information Display, go to Settings > Vehicle > Remote Start > Seats > set to Auto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mekeri Report post Posted January 13, 2016 Thanks for the response! They are in fact set to Auto in the settings. I have toggled this off once or twice just to make sure and neither way seems to make a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luminator Report post Posted January 13, 2016 They definitely are working for me up in Canada, especially needed this week where we are seeing -30C windchill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
candurin Report post Posted January 13, 2016 Do they operate when you manually turn them on (after the car has started)? Let's rule out any issues with the seats themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cv27 Report post Posted January 13, 2016 They work for me too, BUT in my case anyway they take 10 minutes+ to feel warm when remote started, much less if I'm sitting on them, which makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CleBoy Report post Posted January 23, 2016 I've heard (maybe just another persons personal experience) they they do come on if the outside temp is below a certain level. And...they come on at a very low level. Not the same level as when you manually turn them on. This is done as a safety feature so that they don't get too hot when the vehicle is unattended. It's more just meant to heat up quicker when you actually get into the car and are sitting on the seat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I notice when it really cold the seats are not even as warm as the lowest setting. Trust me when it -5° you know a seat that has a little heat from one that does not.

cjh Report post Posted March 23, 2016 Yeah, they definitely don't get as warm as when you're sitting in them and turn them on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akirby Report post Posted March 23, 2016 Maybe they're butt-activated? LOL That is true - without a butt pressing the seat cushion into the element they're not going to transfer as much heat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
