A process for controlling an air-conditioning system for a passenger vehicle interior is disclosed in the case of which the air-conditioning output provided by individual air-conditioning ducts is controlled as a function of the vehicle seat occupancy. This permits a setting of the air-conditioning effect in the different areas of the vehicle interior which meets the requirements to a considerable extent. Individual solar intensity sensors at each of a plurality of individual seats control darkening of the side windows adjacent to the individual seats, whereby control of both the air-conditioning outlets and the window-darkening device associated with a respective seat as a function of the seat occupancy signal associated with the respective seat is carried out.
