Heated Steering wheel and seats
So now that I am getting used to my new to me 2019 GLE400 I had a question. In my Jeep Grand Cherokee there's a setting for if its less than 40 degrees the heated seats and wheel come on automatically when you start the car. Alternatively if its over 70 out the cooling seats come on. I haven't found a setting for this, hoping somehow I missed it??
Also, whats up with the car shutting off when remote starting and opening the door? That threw me for a loop until it happened more than once.

Pushing Start Engine button when you got in and before you switch to D as other brands do.

Auto seat and wheel heat didn’t exist on W166. My wife’s BMW has the feature. Not sure if I like it.
Engine off when door unlocked during remote start is normal operation.

Hi everyone -
Just to throw this out there -- our remote starter solution offers both auto-on features for cooled / heated seats (above or below preset temperatures, respectively), and the engine stays on until you do a key takeover (generally a button press of the engine start button).
Check out our coverages!

Came across it in the Owner manual on my 2016 GLE400 - Page 139 - Activating or deactivating "Pre-entry climate control via Smartkey"
You need a on-board computer to activate to climate control function for up to 5 minutes for pre-heating and pre-cooling same for seat heating, seat ventilation and Ionization.

I searched the 2017 owner's manual for "Pre-entry climate control via Smartkey" and didn't see anything. Maybe it was a short-lived feature?

@whitewagon What model year is the owner’s manual that you posted? The 2017 MY manual (all models) does not have that page 139.

That page is from the 2016 GLE manual.
Page 86 in my manual is Doors and page 99 is sliding sunroof.
