A control unit for an air conditioning system of a vehicle is provided, wherein the air conditioning system has automatic climate control. The control unit is configured to calculate a fan strength limitation specified by a user. The control unit is further configured to activate the fan of the air conditioning system for automatic climate control depending on a fan characteristic curve and depending on the fan strength limitation, wherein the fan characteristic curve displays a fan strength for a fan of the air conditioning system as a function of a control deviation of the automatic climate control.

Method and control unit for controlling an air conditioning system

A method and a correspondingly designed motor vehicle are provided for pre-climatizing the motor vehicle when shut-off by way of a heating and/or cooling unit, which draws its energy for heating and/or cooling from an electric storage unit. When the heating and/or cooling unit is activated by a vehicle external operator control element, the heating and/or cooling unit is initially activated in a first output stage. Then, the heating and/or cooling unit is switched from the first output stage to a second output stage as a function of predetermined conditions.
