the reason for this (I used to do it with my old Alfa's).....is to prevent extra strain on the starter motor. My VW Passat was smarter.....it had about a 4 second delay before the compressor kicked on, so the starter didn't have to pull on the engaged A/C compressor. The GTI that I had after that didn't do it for some reason. So....it's all about your starter motor. I think the FJ is engaged right from the start, and has no delay
Our starter is pretty hefty. Think clutch defeat switch.
