Abstract

A method for operating an air conditioning system of a vehicle includes actuating an operating element of an air vent of the air condition system for a defined first time period, the actuating for the first time period causing activation of a control slider function for adjusting the outflow volume, actuating the operating element for a defined second time period, which is shorter than the first time period, the actuating for the second time period causing a popup menu which optically displays a numerical value of an actual outflow volume of the air vent being displayed on an onboard monitor of the vehicle, and adjusting the outflow volume with a further operating element in the popup menu and simultaneously optically displaying a numerical value of the adjusted outflow volume.
