Abstract
A vehicle-compartment abnormality detection apparatus for a vehicle includes a sensor signal processor, a comparator, a determiner, and an abnormality detector. The sensor signal processor receives a sensor signal from pressure sensors disposed inside a vehicle compartment. The comparator compares a sensor signal level with a predetermined threshold. The determiner starts up when a result of comparison indicates that the sensor signal level is greater than the predetermined threshold in a state where the drive system is stopped, and determines at least whether a key is present inside the vehicle compartment. The abnormality detector starts up when the result of comparison indicates that the sensor signal level is greater than the predetermined threshold in the state where the drive system is stopped, and detects an abnormality occurring inside the vehicle compartment when a result of determination indicates that the key is not present inside the compartment.
