Read the owners manual. It's supposed to do that. Or just push the "off" button.

I don't see the problem, how would you suppose a climate control would act if you turn the temp down? How else can it cool? As stated, turn if off, use the fan or vents.

I think this may be your issue:

Manual System:

A/C (Air Conditioning): This button turns the
air conditioning compressor off or on under most
conditions. The light on the A/C button comes on
when the compressor is operating. The air conditioning
does not operate at temperatures below approximately
35F to 40F (2C to 4C). The air conditioning
cools and dehumidifies the air coming into the vehicle.
The air conditioning cannot be turned off in defrost,
as it helps to remove moisture from the vehicle. It also
helps to keep the windows clear.
The air conditioning may be forced off at high engine
speeds or high engine oil or coolant temperatures.

HVAC:

A/C (Air Conditioning): This button turns
the air conditioning compressor off or on under most
conditions. The light on the A/C button will come on
when the compressor is operating in either the automatic
or manual mode. The air conditioning does not operate
at temperatures below approximately 35F to 40F
(2C to 4C). The light on the A/C button will flash if
pressed when air conditioning is not available. The air
conditioning cools and dehumidifies the air coming into
the vehicle. The air conditioning cannot be turned off in
defrost and defog, as it helps to remove moisture
