Abstract
A vehicle system includes temperature sensors positioned in the vehicle and a control module in communication with the temperature sensors. The temperature sensors are configured to measure surface temperatures of objects in the vehicle. The control module is configured to receive the measured surface temperatures from the temperature sensors, determine whether any of the measured surface temperatures is greater than a defined threshold, and in response to any of the measured surface temperatures being greater than the defined threshold, transmit an alert signal to a user communication device indicative of the objects in the vehicle having the measured surface temperatures greater than the defined threshold.
