Warm and cold
Climate control system
Your vehicle has a deluxe automatic climate con-
trol system with two zones where the tempera-
ture, air distribution, and amount of air can be
adjusted separately on the left and right front
sides.
The climate control system circulates, warms or
cools, and removes humidity from the air in the
vehicle interior. It is the most effective when the
windows and panoramic glass roof* or power
top* 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 pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Presets
Several functions can be preset in the Infotain-
ment system.

Select in the Infotainment system: [MENU] but-

ty.


ZA WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to accidents.
— For safer driving, keep all windows free of
ice, snow and fog.
— Become familiar with the correct use and
function of the climate control system as
quickly as possible, especially with the de-
frosting and defogging functions.
— When the temperature is below freezing,
only use the windshield washer system after
the
windshield has been warmed by the cli-

mate control system. The washer fluid could

() Note
— If you suspect that the climate control sys-
tem is damaged, switch the system off to
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
— Repairs to the Audi climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special
tools. See an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility.
@) For the sake of the environment
— Energy can be saved by switching off the A/C
mode.
— In vehicles with the efficiency program”, you
can find other consumption information and
more economy tips > page 23.
iG) Tips
—To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win-
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
front of the windshield must be free of ice,
snow, and leaves.
— Condensation from the cooling system can
drip and form a puddle of water under the
vehicle. This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak.
— The energy management system may tem-
porarily switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger.
These systems are available again as soon as
the energy supply has been restored.
— The climate control settings are automati-
cally stored and assigned to the vehicle key
that is in use. These settings are different
when the power top* is open or closed.

The functions can be switched on and off by
pressing the buttons or adjusted by turning the
knob. The LED in a button will light up when the
function is switched on.
The deluxe climate control system automatically
maintains a temperature once it has been set. In
all heating mode functions except defrost, the
blower only switches to a higher speed once the
engine coolant has reached a certain tempera-
ture.
AUTO Automatic mode or eco mode*
Automatic mode maintains a constant tempera-
ture inside the vehicle. Air temperature, airflow
and air distribution are controlled automatically.
AUTO mode switches off once a button in the cli-
mate control system is pressed.
Applies to: vehicles with eco mode: Pressing the
AUTO button briefly when automatic mode is ac-
tive will activate the energy-saving mode of the
climate control system. eco will appear on the
control panel display. You can end eco mode by
pressing the AUTO button again.
A/C cooling mode
The cooling mode only functions with the blower
turned on. You can turn the cooling system on or
off by pressing the A/C button. The air is not
cooled and humidity is not removed when cooling
66
mode is switched off. This can cause fog on the
windows. The cooling mode switches off auto-
matically when there are cold outside tempera-
tures.
@ / @ Temperature
The temperature for the driver's and front pas-
senger's side can be adjusted separately with the
dials @/@). Temperatures between 60 °F
(+16 °C) and 84 °F (+28 °C) can be set. If outside
of this range, LO or HI will appear in the climate
control system display. In both settings, the cli-
mate control runs constantly at the maximum
cooling or heating level. The temperature is not
regulated.
Synchronization: Pressing and holding the AUTO
button for two seconds transfers the tempera-
ture setting for the driver to the front passeng-
er's side. This applies a temperature change to
the front passenger's side.
S8 Blower
Using the dial $8, you can manually adjust the
volume of air generated by the blower to your
preference. The blower should always run at a
low setting to prevent the windows from fogging
and to ensure a continuous exchange of air inside
the vehicle. To have the blower regulated auto-
matically, press the AUTO button.

Wheels

with them. Remove the wheel covers* first.
Use coated snow chains.
@) Tips
When using snow chains, it may be advisable
to limit the ESC > page 94.
Low-profile tires
Applies to: vehicles with low-profile tires
Compared to other tire/rim combinations, low-
profile tires offer a wider tread surface anda
larger rim diameter with shorter tire sidewalls.
This results in an agile driving style. However, it
may reduce the level of comfort and increase
road noise when driving on roads in poor condi-
tion.
Low-profile tires can become damaged more
quickly than standard tires when driving over
large bumps, potholes, manhole covers, and
curbs. Therefore, it is particularly important to
maintain the correct tire pressure > page 330.
To reduce the risk of damage to the tires and
rims, drive very carefully on poor roads.
Check your wheels regularly every 2,000 mi
(3,000 km) for damage. For example, check for
bulges/cracks on the tires or deformations/cracks
on the rims.
After a heavy impact or damage, have the tires
and rims inspected or replaced immediately by
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
Low-profile tires can wear out faster than stand-
ard tires.
Uniform tire quality grading
— Tread wear
— Traction AAABC
— Temperature A BC
Quality grades can be found where applicable on
the tire side wall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width > page 320, fig. 257.
For example: Tread wear 200, Traction AA, Tem-
perature A.
336
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 half (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 significantly 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, Band 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
SA.
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 > A\.
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 B and A represent higher levels
