Abstract
A vehicle air conditioning apparatus includes a shutting door for interrupting the air flow from a rear face air outlet and a rear face shutting switch for generating a shutting signal when the shutting door closes the rear face air outlet. An electronic control unit (ECU) controls the operation of a rear air mixing door so that communication between a rear bypass passage and a warm air passage downstream from a heater core is interrupted by the rear air mixing door when the shutting signal is generated from the rear face shutting switch.
