1. A vehicle comprising:
- a subsystem conditioner; and
a controller programmed to,in response to a difference between user specified and learned times of day being greater than a threshold, activate the conditioner a predetermined time before each of the times of day, andin response to the difference being less than the threshold, activate the conditioner the predetermined time before the specified time of day but not the learned time of day.

Abstract
A vehicle includes a subsystem conditioner and a controller. The controller is programmed to, in response to a difference between user specified and learned times of day being greater than a threshold, activate the conditioner a predetermined time before each of the times of day. The controller is also programmed to, in response to the difference being less than the threshold, activate the conditioner the predetermined time before the specified time of day but not the learned time of day.

10. A vehicle subsystem conditioner controller comprising:
-
input channels configured to receive signals indicative of user specified and learned times of day; output channels configured to provide first commands to activate a subsystem conditioner a predetermined time before each of the times of day and second commands to activate the conditioner the predetermined time before the user specified time of day but not the learned time of day; and control logic configured to generate the first commands in response to a difference between the times of day being greater than a threshold and to generate the second commands in response to the difference being less than the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A vehicle climate controller comprising:
-
input channels configured to receive signals indicative of ambient and forecasted climate conditions; output channels configured to provide commands to activate a climate control system a predetermined time before a scheduled time of day; and control logic configured to generate the commands to activate the climate control system to condition a vehicle cabin based on a learned offset between the ambient and forecasted climate conditions. - View Dependent Claims (20)
