You can use this pad to activate your heated seats from your Remote Start system; here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Using your Directional Pad, scroll down in your instrument cluster\u2019s interface until you reach \u201cSettings.\u201d Then press the \u201cOK\u201d button.<\/li><li>Repeat this process from \u201cVehicle\u201d to \u201cRemote Start\u201d to \u201cClimate Control.\u201d Each time you see these options, press \u201cOK\u201d to continue.<\/li><li>In the \u201cClimate Control\u201d menu, you\u2019ll see options to activate the heated seats for both your Driver&#8217;s Seat and Passenger&#8217;s seat. Click on each, then toggle on the \u201cAuto\u201d setting.<\/li><li>Finally, find the \u201cDuration\u201d option in your interface\u2019s menu. You\u2019ll see an option for either 5, 10, or 15 minutes from the time that you start your vehicle with your Remote Start key. Select the best choice for you.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DAEVYsjYazo?rel=0\" width=\"1000\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\" rel=\"0\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" rel=\"0\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re done!

It can also help you adjust the ambient temperature inside, as well as activate your heated seats, making this a highly convenient piece of technology, especially in the often-brutal Edmonton winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tNu2xi3NVw8?rel=0\" width=\"1000\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" rel=\"0\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/blog\/fordpass-smartlink-features-and-availability-on-new-ford-models\/\">What features come with FordPass SmartLink?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Test drive a Ford vehicle with Intelligent Access Key Remote Start Capabilities in Edmonton, AB<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sherwood Ford offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/new-ford-sherwood-park-ab\">wide selection of high-tech Ford vehicles<\/a> right here on our Edmonton lot.
