Abstract
In a vehicle air conditioner, each of cool air outlets is provided at an upper side of each seat at second and third seat lines from a most front seat so that cool air from an air conditioning unit is blown from the cool air outlets toward upper sides of the seats, respectively, and each of warm air outlets is provided at a lower side of each seat at the second and third seat lines so that warm air from the air conditioning unit is blown from the warm air outlets toward lower sides of the seats, respectively. In addition, each of suction ports is provided for each corresponding seat at the second and third seat lines so that air inside a passenger compartment is sucked from the suction ports to be returned to the air conditioning unit.
