Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms, cools and
adds humidity to the air in the veh icle inter ior. It
is the most effective when the windows and pow
er top are closed. If there is a bui ld-up of heat in
side the vehicle, ventilation can help to speed up
the cooling process.
I n all heating mode functions except
defrost, the
b lower only switches to a higher speed once the
engine coolant has reached a certain tempera
ture .
Condensat ion from the cooling system can drip
and form a puddle of water under the veh icle.
This is normal and does not mean there is a leak.
P ollutant filt er
The pol lutant filte r removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the a ir.
The air pollutants filter must be changed at the intervals specif ied in your Warranty
& Mainte
nance booklet, so that the a ir cond it ioner can
properly work.
If you drive your vehicle in an area with high air pollut ion, the filter may need to be changed
more frequently than specified i n your Aud i War
ranty
& Maintenance booklet. If in doubt, ask
your author ized Audi Service Advisor for advice.
Ke y cod ed setting s
The climate control settings are automatically
stored and assigned to the remote control key
that is in use . These sett ings are different whe n
the powe r top is open or closed.
_& WARNING
Reduced visibility is dangerous and can ca use
accidents.

tion.
- Completely familiarize yourself with the
proper use and function of the heating and
ventilation system and especially how to de
fog and defrost the windows .
- Never use the windshield wiper/washer sys

been damaged, sw itch the system off to
avoid furthe r damage and have it inspected
by a q ualified dealership .

special techn ica l know ledge and spec ial
tools. Contact an a uthorized Audi dea ler fo r
assistance .
@ For the sake of the environment
By reduc ing the amo unt of fuel you use, you
a lso red uce the amount of pollutants emitted
into the air.
(D Tips
- Keep the a ir intake slots (in front of the
windshield) free from ice, snow and debr is
in order to maintain the proper function of
the climate control system .
- The energy managemen t sys tem may sw itch
the seat heating * or rear window defroster
off temporarily. These systems are available
again as soon as the energy balance has
been restored.
- Air escapes through vents under the rear
window. When placing items of clothing on
the luggage compartment cover, ensure
that the openings are not covered.
