Summary:A method for adjusting thermal comfort in a vehicle upon stopping and starting the engine. The method defines main conditions essentially relating to water temperature of the engine, to temperature inside the vehicle, to windshield fogging risk, and to risk of odors in the evaporator of the air-conditioning loop. The engine off period is limited on the basis of these conditions. This limitation can be implemented by a prohibition to stop the engine or by restarting the engine.
