keeping it cool when off?
I accidentally bumped into the "max" button on the climate control and the fan came on while the car was off.

is this an option to keep the car cool while you leave the car in the sun?

In summer, it blows to circulate air around while car is off. In winter, it uses left over heat from radiator to warm while the car is off. Circulate air in summer can be programmed to run as well.

Pretty much the same....it uses the heat in the engine bay to keep the temperature inside the car constant, when the engine is turned off..
