Temperature control unit for a motor vehicle

A temperature control unit for a motor vehicle compartment, comprising:

• an air distribution setting device cooperating with means for effecting a distribution of air entering the motor vehicle compartment and having a first optimum setting and manually movable over a first selecting path;
• an air volume setting device cooperating with means for effecting a volume of air entering the motor vehicle compartment and having a second optimum setting and manually movable over a second selecting path;
• a regulating control means determining said first optimum setting for said air distribution setting device and said second optimum setting for said air volume setting device without automatically implementing said first and second optimum settings;
• a desired temperature setting device having an output coupled as a first input to said regulating control means supplying a nominal desired inside temperature;
• a first plurality of output indicators, indicating the first optimum setting;
• a second plurality of output indicators indicating the second optimum setting;
• and
• a first sensor providing a second input indicative of the actual inside temperature to said regulating control means, said regulating control unit determining said first and second optimum settings based on said first and second inputs.
