the steps of: providing an infrared heat source, optionally more than one (20, 20a); providing a temperature sensor, optionally two (4, 40); providing a controller (46); providing an electrical power source (48); wherein the infrared heat source and the temperature sensor is positioned within the passenger compartment of the vehicle; the infrared heat source is in communication with the electrical power source; the controller is in communication with the infrared heat source and the controller is in communication with the temperature sensor; the method including the step of using the controller to monitor the temperature sensor, wherein the controller activates the infrared heat source when the controller detects a temperature recorded by the temperature sensor that is below a set point. The infrared heat sources could possibly be in the form of panels comprising a front casing, a rear casing, an infrared heating pad, an insulating pad, and a casing frame.
