As will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art, various features illustrated and described with reference to any one of the figures may be combined with features illustrated in one or more other figures to produce embodiments that are not explicitly illustrated or described. The combination of features shown provides a representative embodiment for typical applications. However, various combinations and modifications of the features consistent with the teachings of the present disclosure may be desired for particular applications or implementations.

If the controller does not detect the occurrence of the predetermined condition or the expiration of the predetermined time period in operation 54, the controller and one or more sensors may monitor the vehicle and occupant conditions in operation 56 until the predetermined condition is detected or the predetermined time period expires.
If the controller detects the occurrence of a predetermined condition or the expiration of a predetermined time period in operation 64, the controller may initiate a vehicle wake-up mode based on predetermined user input (including activating an escalation sequence schedule) in operation 58.
The passenger may wish to initiate a wake mode prior to reaching the destination to provide the passenger with time to prepare. In one example, the wake mode may be initiated upon detecting the arrival or proximity of the vehicle to a predetermined destination based on GPS coordinates. In another example, the wake mode may be initiated upon detection of a predetermined environmental condition indicating that the passenger is still sleeping. Examples of predetermined environmental conditions include: cabin temperature, amount of light entering the cabin, and cabin noise level. In yet another example, the wake-up mode may be initiated based on a preselected time period relative to a preselected destination.
Fig. 3 shows an example of an algorithm, referred to as algorithm 70, for connecting the mobile unit to the vehicle control system and establishing a user selected sleep mode setting. In operation 74, a passenger having a mobile device may enter the vehicle. In operation 76, the control system of the vehicle may detect the mobile unit and initiate a communication protocol service. For example, the mobile unit may be connected with the controller via a USB connector, a WIFI connection, or a bluetooth connection. In operation 78, the control system may activate the protocol service and provide the passenger with a list of sleep mode options via the mobile unit. The sleep mode option may include various instructions related to activating vehicle components during the sleep mode. Each sleep mode option may include a command schedule related to the awake mode, which may include an upgrade sequence schedule. In operation 80, the vehicle control system may initiate a preferred sleep mode setting for the occupant or may store the setting for later use. It is also contemplated that the sleep mode option selected by the occupant may be communicated to the vehicle prior to the occupant coming into contact with the vehicle.
