Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms, cools and re­ moves humidity from the air in the vehicle interi­
or. It functions most effectively when the w in ­
dows are closed .
If there is a build-up of heat in­
side the vehicle , ventilation can help to speed up
the cooling process.
Pollutant filter
The po llutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the a ir.
Key recognit ion
Certain settings are automatically stored and as­
signed to the remote control key be ing used .
.&_ WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to accidents.
- For safer driving, keep all windows free of
ice, snow and fog.
- Become familiar as quickly as possible with
the correct use and function of the cl imate
contro l system, especially w ith the defrost­
ing and defogging function.
- Whe n the temperature is below freez ing,
on ly use the windsh ield washer system after
the windsh ie ld has been warmed by the cli­
mate contro l system . T he washer fluid cou ld
freeze o n the windshield and impair visibili­
ty .
(D Note
-If yo u suspect that the climate control sys ­
tem is damaged, switch the sys tem off to
52
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an authorized Audi dea ler or authorized
Audi Service Facility .
- Repairs to the Audi climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special tools. See an authori zed Aud i dea ler
or authori zed Aud i Service Facility.
@) For the sa ke of the environment
Reducing the amo unt of fuel used also re­
duces the amount of pollutants that enter the
a ir .
(D Tips
- To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win­
dows from fogging over, the a ir intake in
front of the windshie ld m ust be free of ice ,
snow or leaves .
- Condensation from the cooling system can
dr ip and form a pudd le of water under t he
vehicle . This is norma l and does not mean
there is a lea k.
- The energy management system may sw itch
the seat heating* or rear window defroster
off tempora rily . These systems a re available
aga in as soo n as the energy supp ly has been

tomatic climate control system automatically
maintains a temperature once it has been set .
The air tempe rature coming from the vents, the
b lower speed, and the air distribution are also
automatically adjusted. In all heating mode f unc­
tions except
defrost, the b lower only switches to
a higher speed once the engine coolant has
reached a certain temperature.
~ Adjusting the blow er
The blower speed can be adjusted in small inc re­
ments using the dia l
(D. The blower should a l­
ways run at a low setting to prevent the windows
from fogging and to ensure a continuous ex­
change of air inside the vehicle. You can adjust
the volume of air generated by the blower to your
preference. To have the blower regulated auto­
mat ically, press the
IAU TOI button .

The air quality sensor that is de­
signed for diese l and gasoline exhaust auto ­
matically sw itches the recirculation mode on or
off depend ing on the level of pollutants in the
outside air.
In recirculation mode, the air inside the vehicle is
circu lated and filtered. This prevents the unfil­
tered a ir outside the vehicle from entering the
veh icle inter ior . We recommend switching recir ­
culation mode on when dr iv ing through a tunnel
or when s itting in traffic

automatically .
The
IAUTOI button switches the defroster off.
IQiil REAR ! Switching the rear window defogger
on and off
If the rear w indow defogger is activated when
the ignition is switched on, the battery manage­
ment determines based on the battery charge if
it is possible to turn on. Ot he rwise, the rear win ­
dow defogger functions with the engine running
and switches off automatically after approxi­
mately 10 - 20 minutes, depending on the out­
side temperature.
To prevent the rear w indow defogger from
sw itching off automatically, press and hold the
I@ REARI button for more than two seconds. This

Driving
General information
Breaking in
A new vehicle must be broken in, and the break­
in distance should be 1,000 mi les ( 1,500 km). Do
not drive at speeds that w ill exceed
2/3 of the
maximum permitted engine speed
(RPM) for the
first 600 miles (1,000 km) , and avoid full accel­
eration during this period . You may gradually
start increasing the
RPM and the speed between
600 miles (1,000 km) and 1,000 miles (1,500
km).
During the first hours of use, the engine has a
higher internal friction than later on when all
moving parts have settled into place with each
other.
How the vehicle is driven during the first 1,000
miles (1,500 km) also affects the engine quality.
Drive at moderate engine speeds after the initial
break-in per iod, part icularly when running a cold
engine . This will reduce engine wear and improve
the mileage .
Do not drive at too low of an engine speed (rpm).
Shift down if the engine stops running "smooth­
ly" . Extremely high eng ine speeds are automati ­
cally reduced .
Avoid damaging the vehicle
When you are driving on poor roads, or over
curbs, steep ramps, etc., make certain that low­
lying parts such as spoilers and exhaust system
parts do not bottom out and get damaged.
This is especially true for vehicles with low-slung
chassis (sports chassis)* and fully loaded
vehicles.
Driving through water on roads
Note the following to reduce the risk of vehicle
damage when driving through water, for examp le
on flooded roads :
- The wate r must not be any higher than the bot­
tom of the vehicle body .
Driving
- Do not drive faster than walking speed.
A WARNING
After driv ing through water or mud, the effec­
tiveness of the brakes may be reduced due to moisture on the brake rotors and brake pads.
A few careful brake applications should dry
off the brakes .
(D Note
Vehicle components such as the engine,
transmission, suspension or electrical system
can be severely damaged by driving through
water.
(D Tips
- Determine the depth before driving through
water.
- Do not stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch the engine off when driving through
water.
- Keep in mind that oncoming vehicles may create waves that raise the water level and
make it too deep for your vehicle to drive
through safely.
- Avoid dr iving through salt water, because
this can cause corrosion.
Economical and environmentally-friendly
driving
T he amount of fuel consumpt ion, the environ­
menta l impact and the wear to the engine,
brakes and tires depends mostly on your driving
style. With an anticipatory and economic driving
style, fuel consumption can be reduced by ap­
proximately 10-15%. The following tips will help
you conserve the environment and your money at
the same time .
Anticipatory driving
A vehicle uses the most fuel when accelerating.
When you drive with anticipation, you do not
need to brake as often and so you accelerate less.
When possible, let your vehicle coast with a
gear
engaged -
for example, when you notice that the
next traff ic light is red . .,,.
57

Driving
Avoid full acc ele ra tion
You sho uld rare ly travel at the maximum vehicle
speed . High speeds cause a disp roportionately
high increase in fuel consumption, emissions and
traffic noise . Slower driving saves fuel.
Reduce idling time
It pays off to stop the engi ne, for examp le when
at rai lro ad crossings or tr affic lights with longer
red lights . Stopping the engine for 30 -40 sec ­
onds already saves more fuel than the amount of
extra fuel needed to resta rt the engine.
It t akes a very long time in idle to wa rm the en­
g ine up to operating tempe ra ture . Wear and
emissions are especially high in the warm-up
p hase . Therefore, yo u should begin driving im ­
mediately after starting the engine. Avoid high
RPMs while do ing th is.
Have ma intenanc e performed r egularly
By having maintenance performed regular ly on
your vehicle, yo u can help to reduce f uel con­
sumpt ion before you even start to dr ive. The
maintenance condition of your vehicle not only
affects traffic safety and long-term value but a l­
so impacts
fuel consumpt ion .
A poorly maintained engine can lead to fuel con­
sumpt ion that is 10% higher than normal.
A lso check the
oil le vel when refueling . The o il
consumption
depends large ly on the engine load
and speed. It is normal for the oil consumpt ion
of a new eng ine to reach its lowest point only af­
ter a certain amount of use. Therefore, the oil
consumption can o nly be properly judged after
approx imately 3,000 m i (S,000 km) have been
d riven.
Avoid short trips
The engine and exhaust cleaning system must
reach the ir opt imal
operating temperature to ef­
fectively red uce consumption and em iss ions.
A co ld engine uses a disproportionately h igh
amount of fuel. The engine reaches operating
temperature and consumpt io n normalizes only
afte r approximately
four kilometers.
58
(D Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended after
starting. If warning lights sho uld come on to
i ndicate imprope r operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also produces
h eat, which could result in overheating or
other damage to the vehicle o r other proper­
ty.
(D Note
- Have your ve hicle ma intained properly and
in accordance with the service recommenda­
t ions i n your Warranty
& M aintenance book­
let. La ck of prope r mai nte na nce as we ll as
imp roper use o f the ve hicle will impa ir the
func tion of the emission cont ro l sys tem and
cou ld lead to damage.
- Do not alte r or remove any compone nt of
the Emission Contro l System unless ap ­
proved by the man ufacturer.
- Do not alte r or remove any dev ice, such as
heat shields, switches, ig nition w ires,
valves, which are designed to protect your
vehicle's Emission Contro l System and other
important veh icle components.
(D Tips
The cons umption estimates as publishe d by
