Abstract
When a battery charger supplying external power to a vehicle air conditioning unit is detected as being disconnected by a connection sensor, a central processing unit stops operating the air conditioning unit upon elapse of a predetermined time after the detected disconnection. When a start signal is inputted from an ignition switch within the predetermined time, the central processing unit switches to a normal air conditioning mode to continue operating the air conditioning unit without interruption. The operation sequence is effective to prevent the energy stored in a battery as an internal power source from being unduly wasted, and to switch smoothly to the normal air conditioning mode.
