Adjusting temp for heated seats to turn on automatically?

[rob28]

Ya, I should probably unwrap the manual but it's worth an ask here.

When we had our previous JL, I was a bit miffed that we didn't have the option to adjust the temperature that the heated seats and wheel come on automatically, as we had the stick shift.
I'm pretty sure there was the option on automatics with remote start to adjust from the default 4degC. I'd love to drop it a degree or 2.

Now we have our new Willys with auto, remote start and 8C Uconnect, I can't find a setting to adjust this. Am I missing something or was this removed?

strangely, the 2021 manual says less about it than the 2020 manual.

from the 2020 manual,
Page 17:

The system has a range of 328 ft (100 m).The Remote Starting System also activates the Climate Control, vented seats (if equipped) in temperatures above 80°F (26.7°C), and the heated seats (if equipped), and heated steering wheel (if equipped) in temperatures below 40°F (4.4°C). Refer to “Seats” in this chapter for further information.

Page 19:

there is nothing about adjustable temps.
