I just purchased a 2021 Volvo XC60 Inscription. I used the Volvo Cars App to remote start the vehicle the other day to heat up the cabin. The vehicle started and was running when I opened the door. But, the fan wasn't on and it didn't feel warm. The steering wheel was heated. It was approximatley 42 degrees outside. I had left the fan on high the night before when I drove the vehicle last. Other vehicles that I would remote start kept the same climate settings at whatever I left them at. If I can't have the cabin heated or cooled from remote start, the Volvo Cars App is not worth the money to me. I thought the Volvo salesman told me that the remote start would use 72 degrees as the temperature setpoint whether pre-heating or pre-cooling..

What do I need to do to pre-heat or pre-cool the cabin using the app?

 

Here's an article from Volvo on the subject
