More Information
Summary:Some embodiments may provide a method for a pet mode for a vehicle. The method may be performed by a control module of the vehicle. The method may include detecting an animal occupying the vehicle. Detecting the animal occupying the vehicle may be based on information captured by an interior sensor. The interior sensor may be capable of detecting weight, motion, or sound. The method may include detecting a climate zone occupied by the animal. Detecting the climate zone occupied by the animal may be based on the information. The interior of the vehicle may be separated into a plurality of climate zones. The method may include modifying a setting of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system of the vehicle to modify an environment in the occupied climate zone. Modifying the setting may be based on the location of the animal.
