I'm not sure if this is a problem or not. When I remote start my 14 and its hot outside the air conditioner doesn't turn on full blast like my 09 did. My AC seats will turn on but the actual AC blows how I left it. I was wondering if GM changed this or if I should take it to the shop.

Do you have the system on auto or manual?

This is important. The manual states "The climate control system will use the previous settings during a

remote start."

 

There is also a setting in your Vehicle Climate and Air Quality settings for Auto Fan Max Speed. You can choose Low, Medium or High.

You can set the remote start fan speed, look in your user manual it should tell you how to change it. I know my is through the settings in the infotainment.

 

^^^ beat me to it lol.

Thanks for the replies.

 

I never thought about putting it on auto before getting out of the truck. I never use auto when I'm driving because I like to control how and where it blows. I know my 09 would blow full blast when remote started no matter how the air was set. I guess they changed that.

Hello,

 

I see that you may have a question about your remote start and the air condition in your vehicle. If the other replies or putting your air condition on auto before getting out of the vehicle did not help answer you question, I would like to reach out to some of my resources to find the answer. Let me know if I can be of assistance.

 

Safe travels,

If it's anything like my 10 Denali then the settings are linked to the keyless entry, saving the auto temp and seat positions will result in those settings being initiated when you use the autostart

Well I put the truck on auto, turned it down low, set memory 1 again and it works great. Thanks for everyone's help. Also thanks Jennifer for offering your assistance.

I'm having the same problem. The heat won't come on even though it's pretty cold outside, I didn't figure how to fix it yet. Also I have chose in the Remote Start settings "heated seats - on" and the seats are not even near being heated when I enter the car

post the outside temp... did this happen at 50", 40" etc?

 

Maybe it doesn't kick in until the temp gets below a certain amount...

Ok guys I was thumbing through my "getting to know your 2014 Sierra" book today while cleaning out my truck. Here is what I found on page 4 about the heated seats during remote start.

 

If the remote start heated seats option is selected, the heated seat button indicators DO NOT illuminate and the temperature performance of the unoccupied seat may be reduced during remote start. The heated seat turns off when the ignition is turned on.

 

Hope this answers your questions. It does not say anything about remote start HVAC operation in the book.

I'm aware that the heated seat button do not illuminate and the temperature performance of the unoccupied seat may be reduced during remote start, but I expect the seats to be somewhat warm which they are not.

 

HVAC - page 2-6: "The climate control system will use the previous settings during a

remote start." What if it was hot outside and I used the ac to cool the vehicle in the afternoon last? If it's cold in the next morning the heater won't turn on?

Yes if it's in auto and the system is set to say 72 degrees. It will turn the heat or ac on depending on the cab/outside temp. I have never had heated seats till now so I can't answer your question there.

Yes use auto on the HVAC. That way it will control the cab temp on remote start automatically and heat or cool it off depending on the temp you set. The new trucks are not like the 07-13 trucks. My 09 would control the temp if the system was off or on. However if it's off now the only thing you are doing is burning gas now. Thank GM for that stupid programming change.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
