    Have a 2019 awd w heated seats & steering wheel,

    When I go to start the car for my wife to warm it up... I start the car and head back in the house 5 minutes, however the seats and wheel don't seem to warm- unless someone is actually sitting in the seat.

    Is there a way to fix that? (override the settings -- perhaps I missed it in the manual. I'm hoping to get some 'preconditioning' to help when we reach double digit below 0 air temos.

    Eventually, will be thinking about some type of 'remote start', but with the Steering wheel heater 'auto on' if the temp is under 40..... I know some EV's precondition based on outside temps... hoping I can eventually do similar with the '19 AWD.

    Thanks in advance...
