How to Turn on Air Conditioning with Lincoln Remote Start?

The vehicle must first have the necessary hardware support. Activate this feature in the iDrive system. Press the [Lock] button on the key fob three times consecutively. Locate the remote control interface, then press and hold the middle [START/STOP] button for approximately 2 seconds to start the engine. Navigate to the vehicle status and control buttons interface, find the [Ventilate Now] button, click to remotely start the engine, and confirm.
When I use Lincoln's remote start feature, turning on the air conditioning is actually quite simple. Typically, Lincoln vehicles come equipped with remote start functionality, which can be operated via the Lincoln Way mobile app or the remote key fob. After pressing the remote start button, the vehicle automatically detects the external temperature. For instance, in winter when the temperature falls below the set value, the air conditioning will activate the heater; during hot summer days, it will turn on the cooling system. You can preset your desired temperature in the app—open the Lincoln Way app, select the 'Remote Start' option, and then adjust the temperature settings. This way, once the car starts, the air conditioning will operate accordingly. It's advisable to ensure the app is connected to the vehicle's network before starting to avoid signal interruptions. I've tested this system, and it's highly intelligent, saving a lot of time—especially when preheating the car before work. Just turn on the air conditioning, hop in, and go. However, remember to regularly update the app to ensure all features function properly.
