An air conditioner system for an automotive vehicle comprises a main heat exchanger disposed in a main duct for subjecting air to heat-exchanging process while the air passes through the main duct means, and an auxiliary heater disposed in a bypass duct whose inlet and outlet openings communicate with the main duct, respectively, upstream and downstream of the main heat exchanger. While the engine is cold, air is supplied from the inlet opening into the bypass duct where it is heated by the auxiliary heater. The heated air is discharged from the outlet opening to the main duct, then to the vehicle passenger compartment. Thus the vehicle passenger compartment can be heated soon after the engine is started from a cold condition.
