Ford Taurus Owners Manual: Remote start climate operation (if equipped)

You cannot adjust the system during remote start operation. In addition, the SYNC display and other displays remain blank during remote start operation. Turn the ignition on to return the system to its previous settings. You can now make adjustments. You will need to turn certain vehicle-dependent features back on, such as:

You can adjust the settings using the information display controls.
