It runs the ac to demist the windscreen when set to windscreen on the dial. If you set it to blow down for instance, i dont think it will bring it on.

As said when the direction is set to windscreen the A/C is on REGARDLESS of blower position (For this reason it's colored orange), this is done as A/C is a great humidifier and hence the best way to clear the screen. Simply move to another position if you don't want A/C.

A/C is a great de-humidifier, as in removes moisture.
