Will the Civic's remote start turn on the air conditioning?

After remote starting the Civic, it is not confirmed whether the air conditioning was in auto mode before starting, but it is confirmed that the air conditioning will be in the same state as it was before the last engine shutdown. Below is an introduction to the 2021 Civic model: Interior. The interior design follows a sporty theme, complemented by brown accents that match the car's character. It comes equipped with 22 features including front head airbags, tire pressure monitoring, and full-speed adaptive cruise control. Powertrain. The Civic is powered by a 1.5L L4 engine with a maximum output of 177 horsepower and peak torque of 220 N·m, paired with a CVT transmission. The official 0-100km/h acceleration time is 9.6 seconds, and the combined fuel consumption as per the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 5.9L/100km.
Civic models equipped with remote start functionality typically activate the air conditioning during remote startup, depending on the settings before the last parking. If the AC was left on or set to auto mode, the system will default to activating it to automatically regulate the cabin temperature. When the vehicle starts, the AC system utilizes interior and exterior sensors to detect temperature differences, then automatically selects fan speed and operation mode to quickly reach your preset temperature. This is particularly useful for pre-cooling in summer or pre-warming in winter. We recommend consulting your owner’s manual, as specific behavior may vary by model year, or visiting a 4S store to check if settings have been updated. In daily use, if the AC fails to activate, possible reasons include the switch not memorizing the setting, low battery charge, or a minor system glitch—diagnostics may be necessary if needed. In short, this feature enhances onboard comfort, but don’t forget regular maintenance of the cabin air filter.
