No. Like almost all other aircraft these days, if the radar is selected off for TO it will automatically activate on TO for PWS (it will shut off at 1,200ft.) Same for approach.
The Vol 1 procedure has the CA turn on the radar prior to taxi. I was a but uneasy with this when I got on the airplane. Now I'm convinced. Set it to AUTO and forget it.
