when in ACC mode, the a/c is "conditioning" the air, and will cycle on/off when it needs to, even when the temp is set to high-heat.
The fact that it engages when ECON is pressed doesn't sound right. Unless, as Eric stated, you have front windshield DEFROST pressed, then it should not come on. Although, the a/c always comes on for a few seconds upon initial start-up of the engine, no matter what you have selected. It's Saab's way of keeping the whole a/c system lubed by having it run for a few seconds everytime the car is started.
Ensure that the little green light is on next to ECON--otherwise the system is actually going to use the a/c compressor while in ECON mode.
