Abstract
A vehicle system having an automatic vehicle securement feature to prevent an unoccupied vehicle from driving away includes a controller programmed to initiate the automatic vehicle securement feature, if a first set of conditions is satisfied, by engaging the parking brake and/or parking pawl to thereby prevent the vehicle from driving away. The controller determines if there is a fault of the first set of conditions, if the first set of conditions is not satisfied, and then determines, by the camera-based monitoring system, if a driver is present within the vehicle, if there is a fault of the first set of conditions. The controller initiates the automatic vehicle securement feature if the driver is determined not present within the vehicle, even though the first set of conditions is not satisfied.
