When there is a request for heating prior to completion of warm-up of an engine, an air-conditioner electronic control unit uses a PTC heater as a heat source for heating and cancels a warm-up request for the engine if the state of charge of a battery is high, while the control unit uses the engine as a heat source for heating and sets a warm-up request for the engine if the state of charge of the battery is low.
