Abstract
A process for the outside-moisture-dependent control of an air conditioner of a motor vehicle equipped with a window wiper system provides that at least one air conditioner component is controlled as a function of a window wiper activation signal for reducing the fogging-up of the windows. The simultaneous use of such a signal, on the one hand, for the operating of window wipers and, on the other hand, as a signal for recognizing moist or wet weather by means of the air conditioner permits the automatic adjustment of an operating condition of the air conditioner by simple means. This avoids or reduces the fogging-up of the vehicle windows.
