A method for a vehicle warning system for detecting the presence of occupants and identifying emergency situations within the vehicle. If the occupant is present and an emergency situation is identified, then the method notifies the proper authorities for help. The method includes first activating a plurality of environment sensing devices in response to an integrated pressure sensor recording a pressure reading greater than a pre-defined limit. Next, a plurality of environmental conditions is assessed through the monitoring of the environment sensing devices. Each of the environmental conditions is then compared against a corresponding criterion from a plurality of safety criteria in order to identify an emergency situation. If an emergency situation is identified, then an initial emergency notification is sent to a plurality of contacts, a signal for help. Otherwise, the method continues to monitor the environment sensing devices until the emergency situation is identified.
