Abstract: A heating system for heating a vehicle interior of a vehicle having an internal combustion engine by using a heat exchanger includes three temperature sensors, wherein a first temperature sensor measures the coolant temperature at a coolant outlet of the internal combustion engine, a second temperature sensor measures the coolant temperature at a coolant inlet of the internal combustion engine, and a third temperature sensor measures the coolant temperature upstream of at least one heat source. A first heat circuit couples the heat exchanger to the internal combustion engine, whereas a second heat circuit bypasses the internal combustion engine. The first heat circuit operates solely with the internal combustion engine as a heat source when a target inlet temperature of the heat exchanger is above a preset value; otherwise an additional heat source is switched in, optionally operating in addition to the internal combustion engine.
