Default radiator fan

Driving my daughters new to her XJ today and noiced the radiator fan cycling on and off regularly. Normal or is this something I should be looking into?
Thanks.

It comes on when the A/C clutch is energized and when the temp reaches 217 degrees. The A/C clutch will come on when the defroster is on.

so if the defrost is off, it shouldn't cycle as often?
