The immediate venting feature can only be started when the engine is OFF...so find this feature under CLIMATE. To activate the "immediate parked vent feature" (seen highlighted in pic below) STOP the engine from running but still have the car's electronics on...then make the selection. If the engine is running, the selection will be "grayed-out" like in pic below and you won't be able to activate it:

That’s a very good idea.

What I usually do is after using the AC for a length of time, will turn off and just run on the vent (non-AC) for a period before arriving at my destination.
