Abstract: An estimated temperature range is calculated by adding a plus-side temperature width to the temperature detected by a temperature sensor within the cabin of a vehicle and subtracting a minus-side temperature width therefrom, and is displayed on the display of a mobile terminal as a temperature state of the cabin. When cooling is performed, the plus-side temperature width is made greater than the minus-side temperature width. Also, the plus-side temperature width is narrowed with elapse of time from the start of pre-air-conditioning. With this operation, the temperature state of the vehicle cabin from the start of the pre-air-conditioning can be properly communicated to a vehicle user.

Abstract: An air conditioner is applied to a vehicle having a first operation mode in which an internal combustion engine-side driving force is more than a motor-side driving force, and a second operation mode in which the motor-side driving force is more than the internal combustion engine-side driving force, as an operation mode for the vehicle. The air conditioner includes a heater for heating air using a coolant of an internal combustion engine as a heat source, and a request signal output portion for outputting a request signal for increasing the number of revolutions of the internal combustion engine to a driving force controller during a heating operation of the vehicle interior. The request signal output portion outputs as the request signal, a signal that makes the number of revolutions increased in the second operation mode higher than that increased in the first operation mode.
