Abstract
A vehicle includes a subsystem conditioner and a controller. The controller is programmed to, in response to a difference between user specified and learned times of day being greater than a threshold, activate the conditioner a predetermined time before each of the times of day. The controller is also programmed to, in response to the difference being less than the threshold, activate the conditioner the predetermined time before the specified time of day but not the learned time of day.
