2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Other or unknown Problems

“During a heat wave I was putting my 4 week old son in his carseat in the back of the car, and pressed the remote start button to start the air conditioning. I had also placed my key fob inside the door of the car temporarily, and forgot about this as I closed the door.
