A/C compressor always engaged

I just recently used the heater in my 2000 9-5 for the first time. I was surprised to see that the system engages the A/C compressor by default even when it is just heating. I am assuming the compressor was on, simply because the "Econ" indicator was not lit (i.e. I did not open the hood and look). Ambient humidity was very low, so there was no reason to run the compressor. I prefer to keep the compressor turned off unless it is needed. Of course I can press the Econ button to turn off the compressor, but that is a hassle. I shouldn't have to press Econ every time I turn on the heater.
Does anybody know how the Saab system decides when to engage the A/C compressor? Is it always on when in the "Auto" mode? Any way to make it stay off when just using the heat?
Thanks
