Correct. The fan should not really be coming on as it is only drawing power and using fuel. If it does it once or twice on an incline then it should be ok, as long as the temps aren't getting too high.
As it turns out, i have mine completely blocked now that the weather has turned bad. It gets close to 90c but i turn up the cabin heater a little and it stabilises. I drive a diesel and a small one at that so it generates very little heat the way i drive. If my wife drives it i have to remove the grille block. I should revisit that adjustable grille block some day.......
