1. A method of notifying a user of a condition of a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving sensor data from one or more sensors associated with one or more systems of the vehicle, the one or more sensors observing conditions associated with the one or more systems of the vehicle;
receiving a preference for available notifications as input to a user interface onboard the vehicle, the available notifications based on the sensor data received from the one or more sensors;
based on the preference and the sensor data, generating, by a processor of the vehicle, at least one notification at the vehicle;
communicating the at least one notification from the vehicle directly to a device of the user;
receiving, by a processor of the device of the user, the at least one notification;
generating, by the processor of the device of the user, at least one action based on the received at least one notification from the vehicle;
displaying the at least one notification and the at least one action on a display associated with the device of the user;
receiving, by the processor of the device of the user, a desired action as input in response to the displaying;
transmitting the desired action, by the processor of the device of the user, to the vehicle; and
outputting one or more control signals to the one or more systems of the vehicle by the processor of the vehicle based on the desired action.

5. A notification system for notifying a user of a condition associated with a system of a vehicle, comprising:
-
a sensor that observes a condition associated with the system of the vehicle and generates sensor data based on the observed condition; a user input device onboard the vehicle that receives a preference for an available notification from the user, the available notification based on the sensor data; a communication device onboard the vehicle to communicate a notification directly to a device associated with the user; and a control module onboard the vehicle having a processor that generates the notification for communication by the communication device based on the preference and the sensor data, the device associated with the user that includes a processor, and the processor of the device associated with the user; receives the notification; generates at least one action based on the received notification; displays the received notification and the at least one action on a display of the device associated with the user, receives as input a desired action based on the display of the received notification and the at least one action; and transmits the desired action to the vehicle, wherein the control module receives the desired action and generates one or more control signals for the system of the vehicle based on the desired action. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A method of notifying a user of a condition of a vehicle, comprising:
-
providing a user device in communication with the vehicle, the user device having a user device processor, a display and a user input device; receiving sensor data from one or more sensors associated with one or more systems of the vehicle, the one or more sensors observing conditions associated with the one or more systems of the vehicle; receiving a preference for available notifications as input to a user interface onboard the vehicle, the available notifications based on the sensor data received from the one or more sensors; based on the preference and the sensor data, generating, by a processor of the vehicle, at least one notification at the vehicle; communicating the at least one notification from the vehicle directly to the user device; receiving, by the user device processor, the at least one notification; displaying the at least one notification on the display of the user device; generating, by the user device processor, one or more actions based on the received at least one notification from the vehicle; displaying the one or more actions on the display of the user device; receiving at least one user input to the user input device of the user device in response to the display of the at least one notification and the one or more actions; transmitting the received at least one user input to the vehicle; and generating one or more control signals for the one or more systems of the vehicle by the processor of the vehicle based on the receipt of the at least one user input from the user device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
