Abstract
A vehicle security system for controlling the operation of a vehicle. The security system includes a controller and a concealed proximity sensor that provides an input to the controller. The proximity sensor is activated by the presence of a body within a defined detection zone in the interior of the vehicle. The controller receives additional inputs from additional devices and toggles through a plurality of security states in which different levels of activation and immobilization are triggered depending upon user input and upon the specific inputs received.
