Lightbulb Cx-60 - operation of the engine

Hello everyone. I am expecting my CX-60 to arrive in a month or two, and I went for the PHEV one. I do have an important question - usually, the vehicle (in Normal or EV mode) starts by engaging the el motor. Okay, so I am cruising around and suddenly I need more power, and I press the gas pedal heavily and the petrol engine kicks in. Here is the question - does it kick in completely cold or while driving around in EV mode, the vehicle somehow keeps the petrol engine moving, oiling, and at an optimal temperature to prevent high RPM on a cold engine and increased engine wear? I just do not know how such systems operate, and the salesperson at my local Mazda dealership didn't know the answer to that question.
