Abstract
A method for controlling a compressor of a motor vehicle air conditioner that is designed for variable power draw and is driveable by the vehicle drive. The power draw of the compressor is subject to an upper limit that is set variably as a function of the difference between the maximum drive torque that the vehicle drive can deliver and the drive torque that is required to drive the vehicle. During a vehicle acceleration maneuver, the air conditioning power of the air conditioner is reduced only to the degree required to reach the desired acceleration.
