For the seats to remain on after the remote start, the Auto Heated and Cooled Seats feature must be enabled.
Auto Heated and Cooled Seats – Anytime the vehicle is on, the heated or cooled seats will activate automatically based on the vehi-cle’s interior temperature.

The ACC system may slow your vehicle to a stop behind the detected vehicle. When the ACC system is holding the vehicle at a stop, be prepared to manually apply the brakes.
If driver action is required to apply sufficient braking behind a detected vehicle, a red alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if selected). See Safety Alert Seat on page 14.
