Default Solar Panel Question

Hey all... I just got an A8 a few weeks ago. It has warm wx package.

Does anyone know how long, at rest, the car will circulate air?

For instance, is there a timer? Or, if there is enough solar energy.. could the car circulate air for a week or more in a parking lot?

thanks!

The circulation works for the whole time it becomes enough energy from the sun!
It doesn't stop at a fixed time.
But in my opinion it helps not so much to cool down the car when it stands in the sun!

The solar panel is what creates the energy to run the fans to circulate the air so as long as the car is in the sun the fans will run the entire time. It will not cool your car down but the fans do bring in the outside air so if it's 90 outside your car will be 90 inside but that sure beats the 120+ that it would be inside in a normal closed up vehicle.
