climate control AUDI Q7 2018 Owner´s Manual

Warm and cold
SYNC Syn chr oniz ation
Use t he rocker sw itc h CD to select the f unct ion.
When synchronization is switched on, the set­
tings for the driver's side are applied to the front
passenger's side and the rear (except for seat
heating/venti lation*). When the settings on the
front passenger's side or in the rear are changed,
the synchron izat ion is automatically switched off
and
4- zone appears in the display .
SET REAR function
Use the rocker switch CD to select the function .
When the function is switched on, you can adjust
all settings for the rear us ing the climate control
system controls in the cockpit . The rear climate
control system controls cannot be operated at
the same time . T his function switches off auto­
mat ica lly after a ce rtain per iod of t ime or after
leav ing the menu.
Vents
You can open or close the center and rear vents in
the cockpit and the vents in the rear center con­
sole and door p illars using the r idged thumb­
wheels. The levers adjust the d irect io n of the a ir­
flow from the vents. The w ide vent is opened and
closed using the~ button ~
page 8, fig. 2@ .
Residual heat
You can activate the residual heat function when
the ignition is switched off by pressing the knob
© (left side). The residual heat from the coolant
is used to heat the ve hicle in ter io r. The res id ual
heat function switches off automatically after
about 15 minutes.
A WARNING
- You should not use the recirculation mode
for an extended period of time, because no
fresh air is drawn in and the windows can
fog when cooling mode is sw itched off . This
i ncreases the risk of an accident .
- Individuals with reduced sensitivity to pain
or temperature could develop burns when
us ing the seat heating function . To reduce
the risk of injury, these ind iv iduals should
not use seat heat ing.

@ Note
To avoid damage to the heating elements in
the seats, do not knee l on the seats or p lace
heavy loads on a small area of the seat.

It is not possib le to operate the rear climate
control system controls when the power chi ld
safety lock is switched on. W ith the SET REAR
funct ion, you can apply all settings to the rear

For example: Tread wear 200, Traction AA, Tem­
perature
A.
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal
Safety Requirements in addition to these grades.
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified gov­
ernment test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one
and one ha lf (1 1/2) times as well on the govern­
ment course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon
the actual conditions of their use, however, and
may depart significant ly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service practices and
differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B and
C. Those grades represent the tire's
ability to stop on wet pavement as measured un­
der controlled conditions on specified govern­
ment test surfaces of asphalt and concrete . A tire
marked C may have poor traction performance
¢ &, .
Temperature
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the mate­
rial of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life,
and excessive temperature can lead to sudden
tire failure¢ &,.
The grade C corresponds to a level of perform­
ance which all passenger car tires must meet un­
der the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades Band A represent higher levels
of performance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
Wheels
A WARNING
--
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration, cor­
nering, hydroplaning or peak traction charac­
teristics.
A WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is estab­
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla­
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.
A WARNING
-
--
Temperature grades apply to tires that are
properly inflated and not over or underinflat­
ed.
Tire pressure monitoring system
ill
General notes
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and inflat­
ed to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size ind icated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la­
bel, you should determine the proper tire infla­
tion pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell­
tale when one or more of your tires is significant­ ly under -inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signifi­ cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over­
heat and can lead to tire failure . Under-inflation
also reduces fue l efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle 's handling and stop-
ping ability. .,.
