To provide a vehicular air conditioner which can achieve effective air conditioning according to the direction of a front seat.SOLUTION: A vehicular air conditioner comprises a front air conditioner 1a for blowing conditioned air to a space in front of a front seat and a rear air conditioner 1b for blowing conditioned air to a space in the rear of the front seat. The vehicular air conditioner comprises an air conditioning control part which acquires a signal representing whether the front seat is in a first state in which it is directed forward or in a second state in which it is directed rearward and reflects it in air conditioning control. When the air conditioning control part has acquired a signal representing that the front seat is in the first state, it operates and controls the front air conditioner in a front first mode. When the air conditioning control part has acquired a signal representing that the front seat is in the second state, it operates and controls the front air conditioner in a front second mode in which output of it is reduced in comparison with the front first mode. Thus, the vehicular air conditioner can achieve effective air conditioning according to the direction of the front seat.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】前席の向きに応じた効率的な空調を実現可能な車両用空調装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両用空調装置は、前席よりも前方の空間に空調風を吹き出すフロントエアコン１ａと、前席よりも後方の空間に空調風を吹き出すリアエアコン１ｂとを備えている。車両用空調装置は、前席が前方を向いている第１状態であるか、前席が後方を向いている第２状態であるかを示す信号を取得して空調制御に反映する空調制御部を備えている。空調制御部は、前席が第１状態であることを示す信号を取得した場合には、フロントエアコンをフロント第１モードで運転制御する。空調制御部は、前席が第２状態であることを示す信号を取得した場合には、フロントエアコンをフロント第１モードよりも出力を低下させたフロント第２モードで運転制御する。このため、前席の向きに応じた効率的な空調を実現可能な車両用空調装置を得ることができる。【選択図】図１
