Who knows? You are the pioneer- only your dealer knows- why not ask them?

Actually, it depends. Sometimes, when the weather is either hot or cold (>90f or <45f) the battery conditioning (it actually cools or heats the battery to maintain battery health) comes on and the car sounds like it is running because that system is. Mine doesn't make noise at times the temperature are more moderate.

Yes it's normal. It says in your owners manual. If you don't have one, you can always download the PDF manual online.
