been parked for a fairly long period, if
the interior temperature is very different
from your comfort setting there is
no need to change the temperature

water may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
In all seasons, if the weather is cool,
the air conditioning is useful as it
removes the humidity from the air
and the condensation. Avoid driving
for prolonged periods with the air
conditioning switched off.
