Method for controlling air-conditioning components of a motor vehicle

A method of controlling air conditioning components of a motor vehicle comprising:

• a) determining a predicted vehicle temperature;
• b) determining an expected air conditioning time of the motor vehicle;
• c) specifying a desired temperature state;
• d) determining an air conditioning requirement based on a comparison between the predicted vehicle temperature and the desired temperature state;
• and
• e) driving at least one air conditioning component according to the air conditioning requirement prior to the expected air conditioning time with a control target of reaching the desired temperature state at the beginning of the expected air conditioning time,
• wherein a two-step driving is performed and first an air conditioning component of a vehicle component is concerned, and in a later phase an air conditioning component is concerned which does climate control of the interior of the vehicle.

A method of operating climate control components of a motor vehicle comprising:

• determining a predicted vehicle temperature,
• determining an expected time for temperature control of the motor vehicle,
• specifying a desired target temperature state,
• determining a climate control requirement based on a comparison between the predicted vehicle temperature and the desired temperature state,
• driving at least one climate control component according to the climate control requirement prior to the expected temperature control time with the target of reaching the desired temperature state at the beginning of the expected temperature control time,
• wherein a two-step driving is performed and first climate control of a vehicle battery is performed, and in a later phase climate control for the interior of the vehicle is performed.

A method of operating climate control components of a motor vehicle comprising:

• determining an expected time and a predicted temperature for temperature control of the motor vehicle;
• identifying a desired target temperature state;
• determining a climate control requirement based on a comparison between the predicted vehicle temperature and the desired temperature state;
• operating at least one climate control component for climate control of an interior of the vehicle prior to the expected time for temperature control with the target of reaching the desired target temperature state at the beginning of the expected temperature control time,
• wherein climate control of a vehicle battery is performed prior to the climate control of the interior of the vehicle.
