Abstract
An air conditioner for a vehicle includes: a casing; an air blower; and a mode switching portion switching an inlet mode to draw air into the casing and an outlet mode to blow out air to the vehicle interior. The casing has a driver seat inlet port from which air in a space adjacent to a driver seat is drawn in. The mode switching portion is configured to be switchable between a normal mode during which air drawn in from at least one of air inlets is blown out from both of a driver seat outlet and a passenger seat outlet and a driver seat mode during which air drawn in from the driver seat inlet port is blown out from the driver seat outlet. The driver seat inlet port is located in a region exposed to the space adjacent to the driver seat.
