Remote Start Fan Question.

[Bhansen]

Just a question regarding to when I use my remote start in the upcoming winter.

 

Coming from my Dodge when I would use my remote start it would automatically kick the front defrost on with hi temp and fan.

 

So far when I kick my GM on with remote start when I wake up at 4am before dayshift (Currently reaching -6 here in Ontario some days) it's not kicking my fan on HI with max temp until I get in and start the truck. I have went into the settings and set it to have hi fan as default. Just wondering if this is normal or should I bring it in to get looked at, only about a month old.

Blasting the fan right away would mean it would take longer for the heater core to get warm. If it's the same way as the K2XX trucks the fan gradually gets faster as the temps come up in the winter. At least that's how mine does it.

I was going to ask the exact same question. Does not work very well at all. My 2015 used to go high fan right away and would defrost the window much faster than my 2020. How is this truck better for the environment if I have to let my truck run 10 plus minutes longer than before. Poor programing.
