I suggest you read a manual. Or if you have an OEM thermostat, simply idle the car until fully warm and the fans start cycling. When the fans start running you will notice that the heat flow in the cabin goes down. In some years bypass valves were implemented to deal with this problem. BTW many aftermarket thermostats do not have this feature and will stay wide open to the heater as the engine gets very hot.
If you need further demonstration, take an OEM thermostat and slowly heat it up in a pot of water. It open to a normal position and if heated further, it will move to yet another position.
One more time...When the engine is cold, the thermostat is closed and blocks flow to the radiator so the engine warms up. Once operating temperature is reached the thermostat opens and allows flow through the radiator to cool things off. If still hotter, the thermostat goes to another position to limit flow to the heater in order to maximize flow through the block. While this is an unusual approach, Saab engineering is often unusual.
