Hi everyone,I'm new to this group and have recently purchased a focus vignale 69 plate.

How do I get the heated seats/screen/AC  to switch on with remote start?

The manual states it can be done but it's not clear.

Thanks

    Is this indeed possible? Must be on automatics only?

    Remote start is available using the Ford Pass App but it is only for Automatics.

    You just leave them set as you would like them before you switch off the ignition. When the remote start is used it will turn things like the heated seats on if that's how you left them.

    When I use remote start in the winter, I my heated seats always warm up, even if I have turned them off previously.

    Does it have to be below a certain temperature for them to work? Does this also include heated screen?

    The seats only come on in low temperature and the heated screens come on as well.

    In the summer I can remote start the car and the aircon will cool the car down.👍
