Default Question about radiator cooling fan operation

Good day!

I am not at all familiar with C5s, so I am hoping that you might be able to help me understand exactly how the radiator fans operate... that is, when do they turn on and when do they turn off?

Do they automatically turn ON when the air-conditioner is switched on?

Is there a quick & easy way to check for proper operation?

Many thanks,

Rb
