  • Patent number: 6115657
    Abstract: A motor vehicle heating, ventilating and/or air conditioning installation has air distribution, air mass flow and air temperature functions, each of which is adjustable between several different states. Control of these functions is exercised, by a control device which includes an electronic control module, in response to operation of a single manual control knob by the driver. The control knob acts on the control module when put into a position selected among several positions, each corresponding to one of the functions of the installation. The control member is displaced by tilting within its selected position, so as to act on the control member in such a way as to modify the state of the selected function.
