As you say, it runs, along with fans, to dissipate hot spots in the engine when you stop the engine after prolonged/heavy use generally when ambient temp is high.

Page 131 in the users manual says:
Residual heat system - When the vehicle is stopped and the ignition off, the heat still in the cooling system can be used to heat the passenger compartment, for example when stopped at a rail crossing.
Press AUTO with the ignition off. (on the climate control panel)

The pump switches off if you turn on the ignition, press OFF or when the heat runs out.
