Abstract:
An air conditioner for a vehicle, comprising:a memory unit for memorizing a set temperature of a passenger compartment of the vehicle, for each of plural regions that are divided from each other by an environment condition relating to air conditioning operation of the passenger compartment; a temperature setting unit that is manually operated by a passenger, for setting the set temperature at a desired value; and a control unit for controlling the air conditioning operation of the passenger compartment, wherein: when the temperature setting unit is operated, the control unit corrects the set temperature for learning in an operation region that is a region among the plural regions, corresponding to a value of the environment condition at an operation time of the temperature setting unit; the control unit performs the air conditioning operation based on the set temperature of a present region among the plural regions, corresponding to a value of the present environment condition; and when a region, among the plural regions, is used once for performing the air conditioning operation, the control unit determines that the region is a learned region and restricts a correction of the set temperature in the learned region, regardless of a correction of the set temperature due to operation of the temperature setting unit.
