Abstract

An apparatus for controlling the operation of an automobile air conditioner comprises mode switches which permit selection between a manual control mode and an automatic control mode for the control of the flow rate of the conditioned air, and a digital computer incorporating therein a memory which memorizes the selected control mode in accordance with signals received from the mode switches. The digital computer is constituted to give instructions to control members of the air conditioner for controlling in accordance with the values stored in the memory, and to set in the memory a value representing the automatic control mode so as to operate the air conditioner in the automatic control mode when a main switch of the air conditioner is turned on.
