Climate control

I have a 2021 platinum and I’m having difficulty setting the climate control with respect to the remote start. The manual indicates that I need to go to the touch screen settings, vehicle, remote start settings, unfortunately after the vehicle icon I do not have a remote start settings icon.
However i do have remote start.

Any help would be appreciated.

The setting for it is in there, been a while since I set mine up, can't recall which screen.

Yes, instrument cluster, not the center stack. on my XLT Premium anyway. I do not have a remote start fob, only via Ford Pass which works for me.

Under vehicle settings, remote start, climate (IIRC) you have a choice of automatic or last settings. I have mine on "last settings" which means in the summer I set the A/C to full blast, and in the winter I set the defrost to full heat/full fan. This must be done before you shut off the truck, as you are leaving. It's taking me a while to remember to do the set up, as I have never before owned a vehicle with anything like this capability.
