In my car, the 'long' count down starts at 60 minutes if I turn the ignition back on right after shut down.

that's exactly what i did.
as soon as i got home from work, i turned the ignition off, and then back on.
the temp was showing at 180, and the timer started at 40 seconds (more or less).
ill have a look at it again just to make sure.
thanks guys.
