Default Airconditioning in Winter

Everyone says you should your aircon every month or so to ensure it does not dry out and leak.

How can you do this in Winter when the outside temp is low and I have auto climate control?

Thx,

Alan

The 'auto' setting runs the ac compressor even in the winter. The Defrost also runs the AC compressor no matter what the outside temp is.

Some vehicles will cycle the ac compressor on periodically even through the winter months. Not sure about the corvette. Also, the defrost only runs the compressor down to just above freezing, unlesss something has changed. Below freezing, the colder air no longer clears the fog off the window and heat is used.
