1. A system, comprising a computer programmed to:
- predict an engine coolant temperature at an expected time of activation of a vehicle; and
upon determining that the predicted engine coolant temperature is greater than an ambient air temperature by a temperature threshold, actuate a vehicle component at a time determined based on the expected time of activation.

Abstract
An engine coolant temperature at an expected time of activation of a vehicle is predicted. Upon determining that the predicted engine coolant temperature is greater than an ambient air temperature by a temperature threshold, a vehicle component is actuated at a time determined based on the expected time of activation.
