1. A passenger cabin environmental protection system for a vehicle, the passenger protection system comprising:
- a carbon dioxide sensor for generating a carbon dioxide signal;
a cabin temperature sensor for generating a temperature signal; and
a controller in electrical communication with the carbon dioxide sensor and the temperature sensor, the controller being configured to initiate a safety precaution based on the carbon dioxide signal and the temperature signal;
a motion sensor for generating a motion signal;
wherein the controller is configured to determine a person is located in the vehicle based on the carbon dioxide signal and the motion signal;
wherein the controller is configured to initiate a plurality of safely precautions, each safety precaution being initiated based on one of a plurality of predetermined temperature thresholds.

Abstract
The system includes a carbon dioxide sensor, a temperature sensor and a controller. The carbon dioxide sensor is in electrical communication with the controller and generates a carbon dioxide signal indicative of the carbon dioxide level contained in the air within the vehicle cabin. The temperature sensor is also in electrical communication with the controller and generates a temperature signal indicative of the temperature within the vehicle cabin. The controller is configured to initiate a safety precaution based on the carbon dioxide signal and the temperature signal.
