Check out your owners manual to see if it says anything about when the A/C is on. I know in the 1999-2005's with the older style ACC the compressor is only running at outside temperatures above a certain point. You can program the old style to how you want it when you start the car, and the owner's manual explains how to do that, so yours should too. As for keeping it on or off, it's probably better to keep it on. In the "Auto" mode the ACC computer does a very good job of keeping it comfortable inside the cabin. Specifically when it's cold and rainy. There are so many sensors inside and outside that it can keep fog off the windows, and to do this the A/C compressor needs to be running. Also, keeping the A/C off for an extended period of time (winter) is bad for the system. The coolant has a lubricating oil in it that maintains the lines and pipes and stuff. I programmed mine to stay off all last winter and I ended up with a pin hole leak somewhere in my A/C lines so I have to recharge it every once in a while. It's good to keep the coolant circulating.
