fan turns on cause you reach a certain temperature HENCE fan turns on while city driving + A/C = warmest recipe for your engine

the fan turns on faster due to the 2 speed motor and because u wouldnt turn your a/con when its cold out its a precautionary thing cuz it must be hot so it goes on faster but what about being in the L in NORMAL
