Remote Start A/C Controls

Is there a way to have the ac fan blow on high when remote start is used on the 2020 F250 Lariat? I have the climate control set to auto and lately the temps have reached the high 80's and with my black truck sitting in the sun, i assume the internal temp is over 100 hot enough to warrant high speed fan. When i enter after using the remote start, it seems like the fan is blowing on about level 2 or so. My previous truck was a 2011 F150 and with remote start on a hot day, the fan blew at full speed until i inserted the key. Any ideas would be appreciated.

When using the remote start on my 2017, the climate system comes on the way I had it when I shut the truck down.

Yes, it's in your instrument panel settings. You can set it to use whatever settings you had it on when truck was shut off, or set it to an automatic setting that will make it work to your pre determined temperature.

how do you set a predetermined temperature ?

here it’s constantly 100+ and I get in and AC almost feels like it’s not cooling on auto. If I leave on last setting it’ll do just that. But I don’t have it on full blast that often when I shut off.

I'm sorry, I believe it will use the temperature only, from your previous setting, then turn on a/c and cooled seats etc. If you have them, to cool (or heat) the fastest way possible. Thats in Auto mode. The other way will just turn it back on to exactly as you had it when shut off.
someone correct me if I'm mistaken. It's in the owners manual.

I agree, you and i are noticing the same behavior in the "Auto" mode. As mentioned my 2011 F150 in auto mode would set the fan to max with max cool on remote start.
