No matter what I do to change my drivers seat ventilation memory it stays on low and I have to manually change it to high. Turn the truck off and restart its back to low. All other presets are correct. Am I missing something in the manual?
All other seat memory presets, mirrors etc need to be adjusted and set with the vehicle in accessory mode not running. Seat vents dont work in this position so I cannot change them.

I think that’s just how it is. Mine also starts on low. I just change it. Personally I’d rather it run on high all the time too

With normal operation the heated seats will automatically start on High with remote start or regular start if it's under °40. If it's over °80 outside the vented seats will turn on High and stay on Hight until you cycle the key and then they will automatically switch to low. If you just start the truck with the key they will start on low. There is no way change these settings.

Thanks for the answer. It does seem silly that if its cold under 40 the heat starts and stays on high but if its over 80(99 yesterday) they start on high then switch to low. Seems like an easy resolution in software. Thanks again.

Unless you have the windows tinted 5% rear, 35% front, and it heat blocking clear tint on windshield... then unless it’s like 100 outside the auto climate doesn’t turn on with remote start cause the truck isn’t hot enough.. ask me how I know :) I have to remember to have the ac on when I shut the truck off lol

I guess at least it turns on high when you remote start, it's nice to know if I remote start for 5-10 minutes that I won't be coming out to a ridiculously hot seat. However, I agree, it should be setup the same way as the heated seats.
