The way the service manual reads, it suggests when not in MAX AC or DEFROST mode, the compressor will not engage unless the engine is running. OTOH, the battery can command an engine start to run the compressor. So, if it's not so hot out that the battery is getting too warm, the A/C would theoretically have no effect on the engine. If it's warm enough that this would become a problem, odds are the battery temperature sensor is already requesting cooling, so the engine will run.
Summer will tell us if it actually works this way.
