Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling the recovery of water in a motor vehicle, in which method, to recover water in an air-conditioning system (12) of the motor vehicle, air is cooled to a temperature below its dew point, and the water dropping out as a result of the cooling is collected in a water container (13). During water recovery, the air-conditioning system (12) is controlled by means of a water recovery control device (11), wherein, to control the water recovery by means of the water recovery control device (11), the air-conditioning system (12) is adjusted on the basis of at least one parameter value which is detected by a detection unit (10) and transmitted to the water recovery control device (11).
