You should idle the engine a bit before shutting down. That would be the
time to raise the windows. Somewhere in the literature - Bentley, Owners
Manual, somewhere, I have read instructions to do just that.......idle
the engine before shutdown. It allows temperatures to even out and cool
off just a bit. Allows circulating fluids to stabilize as well.
