Abstract

Disclosed is an air-conditioning system for a motor vehicle with which individual zones of the interior can be individually air-conditioned. The air-conditioning system is divided by means of at least one dividing wall into sub-regions, with the dividing wall having a dividing wall opening which can be closed off. The heating or air-conditioning system improves the safety, for example, by reducing the amount of condensation on windows, while conserving installation space. In a first region (B1 or B2 or B3 or B4), the partial air stream flowing therethrough can flow through a sub-region (22HL or 22VL or 22VR or 22HR) of heater (22), and the partial air stream, which has already been heated in the first region (B1 or B2 or B3 or B4) can after passing through the dividing wall opening (82R, 82L), also flow through a sub-region (22FL or 22RL or 22RR or 22FR), located in the second region (B2 or B1 or B4 or B3) of the heater (22).
