I think your last statement is what they had in mind; since they call it "climate-control", I think they wanted you to keep it on set for "70degs" (or whatever temp makes you happy) and then the fans will take care of keeping your engine cool. Since the A/C will be on, the fans will come on when needed.
Of course, you need to keep your A/C operational . . . but using your "ears", you can tell when something isn't correct . . . if the fans don't come on "low", on a HOT day, then something is wrong.

If you ever "forget" what the key trigger points are for each
separate mode operation, go to MENU#18 and look at the table, called "Aux Fans Activation", in the middle of the page. All the key 'numbers' are there. . .
* You can check the A/C's operational parameters by accessing the info via the control panel. Follow MENU# 15 to read-out these parameters esp "5" (a/c evap temp) and "7" (a/c compressor pressure). The latter will tell all . . . high vent temp or very low pressure means a low charge.
