Vehicle remote control and air treatment system and associated methods
First Claim
1. A vehicle remote control and air treatment system comprising:
- an electrically powered ion generator for selectively generating ions in the vehicle;
at least one remote transmitter;
a receiver at the vehicle for receiving signals from said at least one remote transmitter; and
a controller at the vehicle and connected to said receiver for performing at least one vehicle function based upon signals from said at least one remote transmitter;
said controller also selectively operating said electrically powered ion generator.

Abstract
A vehicle remote control and air treatment system includes a selectively operable air treatment device. The air treatment device may be an electrically powered ion generator for selectively generating ions in the vehicle, for example. The vehicle remote control and air treatment device may also include at least one remote transmitter, a receiver at the vehicle for receiving signals from the at least one remote transmitter, and a controller at the vehicle. The controller may be connected to the receiver for performing at least one vehicle function based upon signals from the remote transmitter, and may also selectively operate the air treatment device.
