| 主权项 | 1. A method for operating a vehicle comprising a state of charge sensor, an air conditioning system, and a cooling fan, the method comprising: detecting at least one of a battery charge of a battery of the vehicle with the state of charge sensor and a state of engagement of the air conditioning system of the vehicle; rotating the cooling fan in a direction to expel air from an engine compartment of the vehicle based on at least one of a detected battery charge of the battery or a detected state of engagement of the air conditioning system; and rotating the cooling fan in a direction to draw air into the engine compartment when the detected state of charge of the battery is below a predetermined threshold. | ||
