A method of controlling a temperature in a vehicle passenger compartment of a parked vehicle is provided. The method broadly includes the steps of: (a) sensing a temperature (TIN) inside the vehicle at a predetermined time (tP); (b) comparing the sensed temperature (TIN) to a preferred temperature (TP); (c) confirming an absence of any object near a front and a rear of the parked vehicle; (d) turning on an engine of the parked vehicle if the absence of any object is confirmed and the sensed temperature (TIN) is not the preferred temperature (TP); and (e) utilizing a climate control system to change the temperature (TIN) inside the vehicle passenger compartment. The method may further include the step of establishing the preferred temperature (TP) inside the vehicle passenger compartment and/or the predetermined time (tP) by accessing a climate control program utilizing a user interface within the parked vehicle.
