2015 2500HD heated seat question
With remote start on my 2014 my heated seats would come on in cold weather. On my new 2015 this does not seam to be the case. My dealer said "that is how it is now" - i have found the on / off button in the settings but regardless of how the boxes are checked my seat will not come on in cold weather?? is this really how it is? seams like a step backwards. Or is something afoul??

Congrats on your new vehicle, and we apologize for this! I did take a look into the owner's manual regarding the heated seats. Here is what I found: During a remote start, the heated seats can be turned on automatically. The heated seats are canceled when the ignition is turned on. Press the heated seat button to use the heated seats after the vehicle is started. The heated seat indicator lights do not turn on during a remote start. The temperature performance of an unoccupied seat may be reduced. This is normal. The heated seats will not turn on during a remote start unless they are enabled in the vehicle personalization menu. See Remote Vehicle Start on page 2-6 and Vehicle Personalization on page 5-33. Please let me know in a private message if you need any additional assistance with anything. We would be happy to reach out to the dealership on your behalf. Patsy G Chevrolet Customer Care |
I asked this in another thread. It appears, in cold weather, the heated seats will come on, but apparently only on "low." Finally figured this out after starting the truck, then putting my hand on the back seat, then the driver's seat. Subtle difference, but the driver's seat wasn't freezing cold. Wasn't warm, but wasn't freezing cold.
I'm still trying to figure out how to get the climate system to run more air through the defroster on remote-start. As of now, the system comes on in AC mode with the rear window defroster on. On my previous truck, I could leave the fan set to high and the system on full defroster mode. When remote-starting IT, the windshield would be completely clear in ten minutes. On this truck, I have a tiny hole I can see through until I put the key in and manually switch on the defroster full blast. Also, going through the remote-start sequence a second time does not extend my truck's running time to 20 minutes as the manual seems to suggest. |
