Few Questions
First post here but not first F150.
I've got a new '21 lariat and have a few questions, it's a lot different than my '16 XLT.
First, heated and cooled seats, are they supposed to rest to off when I turn the truck off? In my '16 when I turn the truck off I had to turn the heated seats back on, which I think is the right way. I had someone ride with me and they turn the heated seats on but I didn't realize it until two days later when I saw they were still on.
Second, is there a way to keep the recycled air on after I restart? I was able to do this with my '16 which is nice so I don't have to smell outside odor when I'm driving.
Thanks

Have you checked the manual? I downloaded the manual to my computer and found it easier to read than the one "in-vehicle". Agree, the changes from my 2018 to 2021 are big. I am still learning all the differences.

Page 203 says:
"The heated seats may also turn on when you start your vehicle if they were on when you switched your vehicle off."
Page 186 says
"Recirculated air may turn off automatically, or prevent you from switching on in all air flow modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on and off automatically in various air distribution control combinations to improve heating or cooling efficiency"

Yeah I noticed last week too heated seats stay on when I started truck after work. Thought that was odd..... especially since most things you WANT to stay to off resort to on after a restart.
