    Abstract: A computer-implemented method when executed by data processing hardware causes the data processing hardware to perform operations. The operations include detecting a park mode of a vehicle equipped with an automatic protected idle function and activating the automatic protected idle function automatically in response to the detected park mode. A state of a control switch associated with the automatic protected idle function is determined, and a hold time is set in response to a respective determined state of the control switch. The operations also include modifying the automatic protected idle function for one or more ignition cycles in response to the set hold time.

    Abstract: An access system for a vehicle includes a first vehicle subsystem configured to control access to an interior compartment of the vehicle, an actuator mounted on the vehicle and movable between first and second positions, and a controller coupled to the actuator and configured to: detect a first actuation sequence of the actuator, the first actuation sequence corresponding to an access code; during the first actuation sequence of the actuator, provide an audible, visual, or tactile response from the vehicle, by causing activation of a vehicle system; compare the access code to an authorization code; and generate a first control signal configured to cause the first vehicle subsystem to switch between a first state and a second state when the access code corresponds to the authorization code.
