Abstract:
1. A method for conditioning one or more aspects of a vehicle, comprising the steps of: (a) receiving a departure time; (b) sensing a vehicle condition at a first time; (c) using a control module to execute a conditioning algorithm, wherein the conditioning algorithm uses the departure time and the vehicle condition sensed at the first time to determine a conditioning start time; (d) waking up the vehicle and sensing the same vehicle condition at a second time that is after the sensing at the first time but before the conditioning start time, if the same vehicle condition sensed at the first and second times differs by a certain degree then executing the conditioning algorithm again to determine a new conditioning start time, and if the same vehicle condition sensed at the first and second times does not differ by a certain degree then keeping the initial conditioning start time; and (e) conditioning one or more aspects of the vehicle at the conditioning start time.
