Electric Cooling Fan running for a few min after turning the car off?
Hi guys, just got my 2013 S550 4Matic few weeks back and haven't been driving it much. I drove it yesterday for about an hour and when I parked it in the garage, I heard the fan going for a few min after turning off the car. Now the temperatures here are cold in the teen's so can't say it is warm. Is that normal?? Thanks in advance.

And to help your engine use the REST function after you shut it down. This starts a small electric pump that circulates engine coolant and keeps car interior warm until, I guess, coolant temperature is low enough. Circulating coolant helps to eliminate the hot spots inside engine. I wish this was automatic function every time engine is stopped like it was in the Audi Q7 that I had but in my 2013 S550 I have to start it manually.
