You've probably already have a dozen answers, but I'll take a stab at it. I
beleive the A/C kicks on to help defrost the windows. The temp sensor are
dectecting the cooler temps and assuming you might get some interior window
fogging, by having the A/C on and the heat, you can dry out the air and defog
the windshield that much faster.
