Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for controlling a power supplied to an in-vehicle computing device. In the method, a mobile device is discovered, which is capable of communicating via a local area network. After it is determined whether a discovered mobile device is registered, the in-vehicle computing device is pre-booted according to a first condition when the discovered mobile device is registered.

Abstract: A fail-safe control method for a vehicle cooling system, in which an engine and a vehicle can be properly operated even when a water temperature sensor malfunctions. When only one of two water temperature sensors malfunctions, control may be performed so that an engine and a vehicle can properly operate. When both the two water temperature sensors malfunction, the fail-safe function of the flow rate control valve can be enabled to entirely prevent cooling water from being overheated, thereby improving the reliability of the operation of the vehicle.
