Title: Air conditioner control system

Abstract: An air conditioning control system for an automotive vehicle including a timer circuit connecting the ignition circuit to a compressor switch means, functioning to turn off the air conditioner compressor for a predetermined timing period after the ignition switch is turned on. The system also includes an inertial switch, such as a mercury switch, which is rendered conductive when the forward acceleration and/or grade of the vehicle attains a predetermined value. The conduction of the inertial switch immediately de-actuates the air conditioner compressor, and the air conditioner compressor remains inoperative as long as the inertial switch is conductive and for the predetermined timing period of the timer circuit after the inertial switch is rendered non-conductive.
