PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the size of an air-conditioning indicating device for vehicles by overlapping an indicating region for indicating an operating state of an air-conditioner 20 and an operating region where the air-conditioner 20 is operated. SOLUTION: This air-conditioning indicating device 10 for vehicles comprises an indicating unit 12 for indicating an operating image corresponding to each of the operation modes of an air-conditioner 20, an indicating control unit 11 and a touch panel sensor unit 13. The indicating control unit 11 changes an indicating of an operating image in response to a selected information of the operating image got through the touch panel sensor unit 13 and controls an operation of an operation mode corresponding to the operating image in such a way that it is changed along with a variation of indicating the operating image, so that the operation mode of the air-conditioner 20 can be operated and at the same time the operating image itself expresses the operating state with the result that an indicating region indicating an operating state of the operation mode of the air-conditioner 20 and an operating region operating each of the operation modes are overlapped to each other and the air-conditioning indicating device 10 for vehicles can be formed in compact size.
