rad fan always on when running....?

Hi guys , have not driven the car in a while and noticed the radiator fan is always on with the engine running , is this normal?
it does not run on high but I really hear it running.
I think the fan is now noisy .
car is a 2013
thank you
Erick

Can't answer about my C63 but my old car had climate control (like my c63) and fan was on slow speed all the time while climate control was switched on.
If you turned the AC off then the fan would stop.

Perhaps "Desert Mode" was turned ON allowing the fan to run earlier at lower speeds.

Yes. The fan can be coded to just run constant as well.
