And that cool air wont' do anything for the humidity that will flood the air cabin as you're sitting there for a few minutes waiting for that slooooow train to go by.
It's been discussed many times, and is in the manual: The system will not turn off the engine under certain conditions. One of them being when it's too hot or too cold outside (I forget the exact temps).
