Claim:
A method of controlling an interior function of a vehicle comprising the steps of: measuring a biomass associated with at least one occupant with a sensor disposed within an interior of a vehicle; correlating an identity of the at least one occupant with the biomass that is unique to the at least one occupant with a microcontroller mounted within the vehicle; selecting a desired position of at least one interior function of the vehicle by at least one occupant from a plurality of positions stored within the microcontroller; associating the identity of the at least one occupant with the selected position of the at least one interior function of the vehicle from the positions stored within the microcontroller; determining an identity associated with the at least one occupant based upon the at least one measured characteristic; and adjusting the at least one interior function with a command from the microcontroller to the selected position responsive to the measured characteristic correlating to the identity of the at least one occupant.
