Abstract
A method and system capable of variably adjusting an indoor temperature of a vehicle according to characteristics of an object to be protected in the vehicle when a driver has turned off the engine and exited the vehicle are provided. The method includes determining whether a current indoor temperature of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined allowable temperature of an object to be protected and switching an IG terminal of a key box of the vehicle to an ON state. A sustainable time of indoor temperature control of the vehicle is calculated in response to determining that the current indoor temperature of the vehicle exceeds the predetermined allowable temperature of the object to be protected. The indoor temperature of the vehicle is adjusted to be within a predetermined allowable temperature range or indoor air of the vehicle is circulated according to the sustainable time.
