I'll try to finish reading your book later...
No it doesn't, it only turns on if you press the A/C button or have defrost on that's his point, it does exactly what you tell it to you don't have to set an arbitrary temperature target. You're thinking of the BRZ "climate control", not sure about your 20 year old Toyota, my '93 Toyota doesn't do what you describe, neither does my '91 Nissan, it does what the buttons tell it to do.

I kind of wish it did turn on intermittently though, there's no way to get cold air through the vents without it.
